The Squore installation package can be used to upgrade an existing Squore installation from Squore 2012-A-SP6.
When an installation is upgraded, the following happens:
The new version of Squore Server overwrites the previous one in the same installation directory.
The database is upgraded.
The data files are migrated.
The old basic configuration is kept: location of data, cluster and tmp folders as well as ports.
LDAP settings, licence server sharing, SSL configuration are discarded and will need to be configured again. The old <INSTALLDIR>/config.xml and <INSTALLDIR>/server/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml are backed up for your convenience next to the new ones (i.e. <INSTALLDIR>/config.xml.bkp and <INSTALLDIR>/server/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml.bkp).
Folders inside the installation directory are deleted during an upgrade, including the default tmp, data, cluster and backup folders. Before you attempt to upgrade Squore, run a full backup of your data (and move it outside <INSTALLDIR>) using the provided backup scripts described in the section called “Backing-Up the Squore Installation”
On Linux, if you used the -x and/or -s parameters in your initial installation or if you manually edited the value of shared memory or java Xmx parameters after installing, you must pass -x and/or -s on the command line for the upgrade as well, as they are not read from the previous installation. For more details on install options, refer to install(1).
The file postgresql.conf in your database cluster is patched during the upgrade process. If you have modified it manually, create a backup copy before upgrading and verify that the migrated file still contains your modifications.
Ensure that the server and the database are shut down before continuing.
