Upgrading to ez2view v7.4.x


Version 7.4 requires an upgrade to the Microsoft .NET Framework

Version 7.4.x or later of ez2view requires the .NET Framework 4.7.1 Full Profile. You will be prompted to install the correct version of the .NET Framework during the ez2view installation process. Without the correct version of the .NET Framework on your machine, ez2view v7.4.x will not install.

The upgrade to .NET 4.7.1 is an in-place upgrade. That means when .NET 4.7.1 is installed it effectively replaces .NET 4.5.2 on your ez2view machine. According to Microsoft, this replacement is 100% backwards compatible.

If you are installing ez2view v7.4.x or later on your existing ez2view machine, which had .NET 4.5.2 installed, then .NET 4.5.2 will be replaced with .NET 4.7.1.

If you have other applications installed on your ez2view machine relying on the .NET Framework, we recommend you check with your IT team to verify if there are any potential conflicts before upgrading to ez2view v7.4.x. You will need to check the vendor .NET Framework compatibility for any other application using the .NET Framework on your machine.

Access to new database tables required in ez2view v7.3 and later

If you rely on ez2update database for your data feed you will need to upgrade to ez2update v5.4 before installing ez2view v7.3 or later. For details on upgrading you ez2update installation go to the downloads page.

ez2view v7.3 or later requires access to the following MMS database tables:

  • BIDDUIDDETAILSTRK
  • DISPATCHOFFERTRK

If you run your own INFOSERVER please ensure that ez2view has access to the table in your database.


Oracle client drivers are embedded in the ez2view installation package

From v7.3.1 onwards the Oracle client drivers are included in the ez2view Australia installation package. Assuming you are running a standard Oracle environment, the ez2view Australia MSI is a complete installation package and will run against Oracle without any further driver installations.

If you need to continue using your native Oracle client drivers, please contact support for more information regarding your ez2view Australia installation: support@global-roam.com.


IP Address changes since since ez2view v7.3.x

The IP Address for the http://aemo.datastripe1.com URL has been updated to 52.64.91.206.

ez2view requires access to the internet for licencing, analysis and data access purposes. As we continue to move to a more "cloud based" architecture we anticipate ez2view will require additional internet access for data retrieval and feature support.

We recommend that you allow firewall access using our domain name rather than by IP address as we can not guarantee that our IP addresses are static.

To simplify firewall configuration for future ez2view upgrades we recommend that you allow firewall access for the entire domain:

*.datastripe1.com
