Upgrading 1C:Drive to a new version

To upgrade your 1C:Drive infobase with an out-of-the-box configuration to a new release, you can use either the incremental configuration update method or the full configuration update method.

Incremental configuration update

When using incremental configuration update, you work with configuration update files (.cfu) that contain changes between two subsequent releases. So, you have to subsequently apply configuration update files for each of the releases published after your current release till the desired release. For instance, if you use 1.1.X and want to upgrade it to 1.4.X and there were 1.2.X and 1.3.X released between them, you have to apply the 1.2.x configuration update first, then apply the 1.3.x configuration update, and finally apply the 1.4.X configuration update.

Here is how to do this:

1. Create the infobase backup.
For more information, see Infobase backup and Infobase administration.
2. From your (1Ci partner's) personal cabinet at https://my.1ci.com/products/available/, download the next release of your 1C:Drive edition.
Use the *multi_update_<version>.zip or *en_update_<version>.zip file depending on whether you use the multilanguage or English variant of the configuration in your infobase.
3. On a Windows machine, unpack the .zip file content, run setup.exe, and install it to a folder.
4. In the folder, locate the .cfu file.
5. Run your infobase in Designer mode, apply the .cfu file to the infobase configuration (Configuration > Support > Update configuration, Select update file), and update the database configuration.

For more information, see Updating configuration.
6. Perform steps 2-5 for each next release.
7. Run your infobase in Enterprise mode and update the infobase data.

Full configuration update

When using full configuration update, you simply apply the latest configuration file (.cf).

Here is how to do this:

1. Create the infobase backup.
For more information, see Infobase backup and Infobase administration.
2. From your (1Ci partner's) personal cabinet at https://my.1ci.com/products/available/, download the latest release of your 1C:Drive edition.
Use the *multi_full_<version>.zip or *en_full_<version>.zip file depending on whether you use the multilanguage or English variant of the configuration in your infobase.
3. On a Windows machine, unpack the .zip file content, run setup.exe, and install it to a folder.
4. In the folder, locate the .cf file.
5. Run your infobase in Designer mode, apply the .cf file to the infobase configuration (Configuration > Load configuration from file), and update the database configuration.
6. Run your infobase in Enterprise mode and update the infobase data.
