BEMS setup application modes

When you have installed a BEMS instance in your environment and you run the setup application, the following three options are available: Modify, Repair, and Uninstall.

  • Modify: Select this option to makes changes to your environment such as add or remove BEMS services (for example, BEMS-Presence or BEMS-Connect). For more information on how to use the Modify option to remove one or more BEMS services, see KB 82381.
  • Repair: Select this option to make changes to the BEMS instance such as move the BEMS database to a new Microsoft SQL Server, change service account credentials and log file locations, and rebuild the BEMS jetty keystore if it is missing. This option does not resolve issues that might be encountered such as resetting configuration files. For more information on how to use the Repair option, see the appropriate content below:
    • To move the BEMS databases to a new SQL Server instance, see KB 45396.
    • To change the BEMS service account and account password, see KB 58463.
    • To change the log file location, see KB 42316.
    • To rebuild the jetty keystore, see KB 57959.
  • Uninstall: Select this option to remove the BEMS software from the computer that hosts the BEMS instance.
