:::(Error) (Database Update Requirement for XA Server 4.14.4 Upgrade)
When upgrading to XA Server 4.14.4 from version 4.14.3 or earlier, **a database update is required**. You will need to execute the following scripts from our SQL folder against the current ExactAccess server database:

1. Navigate to: ```C:\Program Files\(x86)\HealthCast\ExactAccess\SQL\MSSQL\```.
2. The scripts to run are in their own respective folder paths:
    * \xa\Migration\ **Update_04_14_04.SQL**
    * \prox\ **Update_04_14_04.SQL**

These scripts apply the necessary schema and data updates to support the new version.
