UPDATING
The HRplus Everywhere Version 5.0 application is updated at intervals by (1) HRplus Software LLC. or (2) the Client. For both options, please ensure that:
Ø Users are logged out of the HRplus Everywhere Version 5.0 application and payrolls are in an archived state as the update process requires database shutdown and restart of the Alpha® application server.
(1) HRplus Software LLC.
Updates to the database and interface are applied, via remote access, once access is given by the client to their server. The process is as follows:
1. Clients are notified, via email, about updates that are ready to be applied and are requested to download the relevant update files from the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Instructions to do so are included in the email.
2. The updates are applied, at a mutually scheduled time, by HRplus Software personnel.
(2) Client
For clients whose IT Department can manage the update, HRplus Software will send the files to the relevant client personnel with instructions to apply the updates.
NOTE: The numeric ID that is used to identify each item is of no significance to the client and is for the use of HRplus Software personnel only.
