upgrading to 2.0.0 from preview & 2.0.1 war available?

[decentrix]

Two questions for everybody.

1. Is there any steps for updating from 2.0.0Preview to 2.0.0 other than copying the new war into my tomcat directory?

2. Is there a war version of 2.0.1 somewhere? If not, is it planned? If not, how would i go about making one?

Thanks much,

-Tony

Hi,

1. Copying the war is your easiest option.
2. 2.0.1 was an Enterprise bug fix release, so you can get it if you are an Enterprise customer. You could also check out the latest code to get the fixes and any new functionality from 2.0 (see our wiki for how to do that)

Hope this helps,

Steve

We use a separate MySQL database with Alfresco. Does upgrading in the way you suggest (copying the new WAR file) leave the existing data intact and does it upgrade the data model (new tables) if required?

Assuming you did not modify the previous WAR file (unlikely) then yes that is correct, copy in the new WAR file. When the server starts it will use the same DB and will automatically upgrade the schema and apply patches as required.

You should always make a backup first!

Thanks,

Kevin
