Ending i-effect

When installing an update/upgrade for i-effect^®, we recommend using the installation procedure described below. By following the steps of this guide you will be able to perform a back-up of your current i-effect^® installation. This back-up will - combined with the additional back-up created by the graphical installer - enable a complete restoration of your i-effect^® installation in case any problems occur during the installation process.

Sign in on the System

Sign on as main security officer (QSECOFR) or log in with similar system administration profile.

End the i-effect subsystems

End all i-effect^® subsystems in a controlled manner. This way a normal end-of-job procedure will be performed for all currently running processes.
