Manually Updating MDref on Workstations

If necessary, MDref content on workstations can be updated manually.

About this task

It is usually not necessary to update MDref content manually on workstation computers because it is updated automatically after the Clinical server is updated. However, you can update the workstations manually if, for example, you downloaded the update to the workstation manually or automatic update fails.

Procedure

To update MDref content on a workstation manually:
Download the MDref update file from the MedicalDirector website to your workstation.
    1. On the workstation, in Windows Explorer, navigate to the downloaded MDref update file.
    2. Double-click the .exe file.
    1. Double-click MedicalDirector Maintenance on your desktop.
    2. In the MedicalDirector Maintenance window, select Database Tasks > MedicalDirector Clinical.
    3. Double-click Content Update.
    4. If this is the first time you have run the Content Update utility during this MedicalDirector Maintenance session, select a configuration, and enter your username and password. Click Login. The Content Update Utility window lists the updates that will be installed.
    5. Click Update. The update begins. The Content Update Utility window shows the progress as the updates are installed.
      Tip:
      In the Content Update Utility window, you can update content again by clicking Re-Update. You might do this if, for example, updated content is accidentally deleted from a workstation computer.
    6. Click Close.

Results

The MDref content is updated on the workstation.
