TVIP TMS – Transition to tms_ctl
Since the TVIP TMS release from May 6, 2026, TMS updates are performed using the new tms_ctl tool.
This guide is intended for existing TVIP TMS installations that still use the previous APT-based update procedure and have not yet been transitioned to tms_ctl.
Check the Requirement
If your existing installation does not yet use
tms_ctl, the package
tvip-tms-standalone must first be updated via APT.
This installs the new tms_ctl tool on the system.
Transition to tms_ctl
First update the package information and then update
the tvip-tms-standalone package:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install tvip-tms-standalone
After the package has been updated successfully, tms_ctl is available for future TMS updates.
Future Updates
After the transition, TVIP TMS updates should no longer be performed using the previous general APT upgrade procedure.
Instead, use:
sudo tms_ctl update
This command handles the update process for TVIP TMS.
MongoDB
When tms_ctl update is executed,
the installed MongoDB version is also checked.
If required, tms_ctl automatically updates
the mongodb-org package and resolves the necessary
package dependencies.
Important after the update
Do not reboot the server immediately after the update.
TVIP TMS may still be performing database operations after the update. Wait until all services are shown as green again under General Statistics.
Only then should the server be restarted if required.
Further Information
For new TVIP TMS installations, use the current tms_ctl-based installation procedure directly.
