## Update Steps

#### Resource Provider VM

1. Sign in to VConnect Resource Provider Virtual Machine
2. Unblock the VConnect Resource Provider update package .zip file and extract the contents to a temporary directory using any extractor tool&#x20;
3. Open a new elevated (administrative) PowerShell console and change to the directory where the files have been extracted. Use a new window to avoid problems that might arise from incorrect PowerShell modules that are already loaded on the system.&#x20;
4. Run UpdateBuild.ps1 with required parameters

```
> UpdateBuild.ps1 -SqlServerName "<fill-db-server-name>" -SqlUser "<fill-db-username>" -SqlPass "<fill-dbserver-password>" -VConnectDbName "<fill-vconnect-db-name>" -ConfigureBillingAndDacm $true -BillingApiUser "<fill-billing-api-username-like-admin>" -BillingApiPass "<fill-billing-api-password>" -BillingDbName "<fill-billing-db-name>" -DacmDbName "<fill-dacm-db-name>"

> UpdateBuild.ps1 -SqlServerName "192.168.102.32" -SqlUser "sa" -SqlPass "MakeItWork!" -VConnectDbName "CloudAssert.VConnect" -ConfigureBillingAndDacm $true -BillingApiUser "admin" -BillingApiPass "MakeItWork!" -BillingDbName "CloudAssert.Billing" -DacmDbName "CloudAssert.Dacm"
```

## Verify deployment in Azure Stack Portals

* In the same **Resource Provider VM**, go to **Control Panel** -> **Programs** -> **Programs and Features** -> verify **3 services** DACM (Cost Management agent service), Billing API and VConnect API exist and have the following versions:
  * VConnect Service - 2.2006.1.0
  * Billing API Service - 3.2006.1.0
  * DACM Agent Service - 1.2006.1.0

![](/files/-M7u9eFZUPgDEL3Pav5G)

* In Admin portal, go to **All Services** -> **VConnect** -> **Azure Stack Hub,** verify if it loads properly
* In Tenant portal, go to **All Services** -> **All Regions**, verify if it loads properly

## FAQ

* Where can I find VConnect database details?
  * In Admin Portal, go to **All Services** -> **VConnect** → **Settings** → **Database settings** to find the details
* Where can I find VConnect database details?
  * Open a PowerShell window
  * Navigate to the location of VConnect tool (\~\Setup\VConnectTool). This is inside the update package unzipped folder where this update got installed.&#x20;
  * Run the below command by replacing the path of web.config with appropriate location

```
> VCONNECT.EXE UnsecureConfig C:\inetpub\MgmtSvc-CloudAssertBilling\Web.config
```

Please find database details in Connection String section and Billing API username and password from AppSettings section.
