Question:  Can the Riva program be moved to a different host PC.

Answer:  Yes.  The Riva program does not insert any Windows registry hooks, so it can be successfully moved to a new host PC. 

Procedure for Riva Move (no CRM Integration):
  1. If Riva policies have been scheduled in Windows Task Scheduler, those tasks should be deleted.
  2. Stop Riva.
  3. Find the Riva installation folder and make a copy of it.
  4. Copy the Riva installation folder from the current host windows system (PC or server) to the new host windows system (PC or server).
  5. Ensure that all system requirements on the new host windows system have been met.
  6. Create a shortcut of the Riva.exe application to the desktop.
  7. Run the Riva application.
  8. Test execute one or more Riva policies.
  9. Create Riva scheduled policy execution tasks in Windows Task Scheduler to meet your requirements.
Additional Procedure (Riva with CRM Integration Policies)

If Riva CRM Integration policies have been created, then Riva windows services have been installed.  In this case, you must follow the following Riva removal steps on the host windows system:

Manual Uninstallation of the Omni Riva (CRM Agent) Service:
If, for some reason you need to manually uninstall the CRM Agent service, use the following steps:
  1. Open the Service Control Managed Window.
  2. Locate the "Omni Riva (CRM Agent)" service.
  3. Copy the Path to executable: ex. "C:\Program Files\Omni\Riva\Application\2.0.4.354\Omni.Riva.CrmAgent.exe "
  4. Start -> Run -> type: cmd /k "C:\Program Files\Omni\Riva\Application\2.0.4.354\Omni.Riva.CrmAgent.exe " --uninstall
  5. Remove the "Riva Service Monitor" short-cut on the desktop of the current host windows system.
Add Riva CRM Integration on New Host Windows System:
  • Add the Omni Riva (CRM Agent) service - This agent is installed and configured the first time you save a CRM Integration Module policy.  Open and save the existing CRM Integration policy in the Riva interface.

  • The Riva CRM Agent Service Monitor - provides either real-time summary or full synchronisation information. When you restart the Omni Riva (CRM Agent), the monitor will be blank until the first synchronisation time is reached. It will display each of the accounts as they are initialised. If you restart the service monitor during your off-peak hours and your frequency is set to every four hours, nothing will appear in the monitor interface for four hours.  If you have two threads configured, two users will appear at once and be synchronised at once.

    In the CRM Service Monitor, to switch between summary or full synchronisation information, select the checkbox beside the user(s). This will open a monitor frame below the summary information that provides the full synchronisation information. To view errors, select the Errors tab. To start the monitor, create a short-cut on your desktop with the following command (assuming Riva is installed in the following directory structure):

    "C:\Program Files\Omni\Riva\Riva.exe" --crm-monitor

Final Cleanup (Optional)

Remove (delete) all Riva files from the original host windows system.

Common Post-Move Errors:

  • Riva Does Note Load - When the Riva interface is started, the application does not load and displays an error.

    Fix - .NET 2.0 Framework has not been installed on the host windows system.  Download and install the .NET 2.0 framework dotnetfx.exe file.

  • Riva Loads - Existing Policies Are Not Visible - none of the existing Riva policies appear in the Policies detail page in the Riva interface.

    Fix - the GroupWise client has not been installed.  Install the latest version of the applicable GroupWise client for the GroupWise system being serviced.
