Upgrading Recording Service

If you own Recording Service that comes along with ABBYY Timeline 5.2 or later, you can upgrade to Recording Service comes along with ABBYY Timeline 5.3. This means that you can install a new version of Recording Service, and your databases and logs will be maintained.

Before you begin

It is recommended that you backup your Recording Service database before you perform the upgrade. To do this, use PostgreSQL. It includes utilities that allow you to make backups. These are pg_dump/pg_dumpall and pg_basebackup. For detailed information, refer to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/backup.html or see 'PostgreSQL Databases Backup and Restore'.

  2. Follow the instructions of the Installation Wizard.

If you can't upgrade Recording Service using the setup, perform the following steps:

  1. Uninstall your Recording Service.
    Your database is maintained while uninstalling.
