Preparation
Update the application server
In case of update from eRecruiter v1.x to v2.x, the following packages must be updated at the application server:
- .NET Framework 4.67.1
To ensure full functionality the eRecruiter should have permanent internet access.
...
Because the update process takes a longer time the update window should be communicated to the users. Normally a time window of about 1 hour should be expected. The actual duration depends on the experience of eRecruiter update procedure and the actual version. Furthermore, users should be informed about changes in the new eRecruiter version.
