To upgrade SPEAK version from version 1.0.0 rev.130527 to version 1.0.0 rev.140131:
- Download the SPEAK version 1.0.0 rev.140131 upgrade package (Sitecore package, 623 Kb)
- Add the "ecm.dispatch" connection string to /App_Config/ConnectionStrings.config:
<add name="ecm.dispatch" connectionString="mongodb://localhost/ecm_dispatch" /> - Choose the 'restart client' option on the final step of this wizard.
