When an update is available :

• a buit-in notification system also notifies you from within the Sierra++ application :

 

Sierra++ consists in two binary files : a custom study and a Windows application.

There are two types of update :

Simple Update

The most frequent updates involve the Sierra++ application only, and don’t require to restart Sierra Chart. A simple built-in notification and update system make it straightforward :

Full Update

Sometimes, both the Sierra++ study and application need to be updated.

The Sierra++ study is automatically updated by Sierra Chart upon restart, depending on your SC version.

Then you are prompted to update the Sierra++ application.

Manual/Fallback update

If you encounter any issue, or if you simply prefer, you can use the default update system offered by Sierra Chart’s File Distribution System :

• Delete Sierra++.exe file from SC Data Folder (see Installation)
• Restart Sierra Chart

This method requires that your SC version is at least equal to Sierra++ head SC version (see Requirements), and may not be usable for some distributions.
