You should do the following before performing an upgrade installation.
- Back up your database. See also Database backup (required)
- If you intend to upgrade the version of your database and database
client, perform that upgrade first. It is not possible to alter the
installed system to use new versions. The system uses the database
and database client files that you specify in the installer.
- Back up any customized configuration files for Apache and tomcat.
<bfinsastall>/Apache/conf
<bfinsastall>/Apache/tomcat/conf
The httpd.conf and
php.ini files are commonly customized for Apache.
- If the system is configured to use HTTPS and SSL, back up your
certificates directory. The upgrade should not affect them.
- If the system is installed using Microsoft SQL Server, JDBC Library
version 4.1 is required. Download JDBC Library version 4.1 from Microsoft
at the following location:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?id=11774
- Change the following lines in <bf_install_path>\Manager\main.res.
jdbc_driver_dir= ${your sqljdbc4.1 path}\enu
jdbc_drivers = sqljdbc4.jar
- Copy the sqljdbc4.jar from the downloaded JDBC
4.1 Library to {install_path}\jas_utilities\jars.
- Remove sqljdbc.jar.
