Update Multiple Web Server App Pools

[Austin_Barber1]

I think I'm overthinking this, but how do you update multiple web server app pools to a newer version of OnBase. When I look at the OnBase server updater tool, it shows my web servers on version 18. I've updated my app server to the latest version, EP5. I've run the web server installation and configured it during setup. Do I need to manually copy the files from the installation appserver folder over to the other app pool folders for it to update? Do I need to run the web server installer multiple times? I'm kind of confused on what I need to do next to update them. I've gone back and watched the web server installation and troubleshooting videos in the training. I didn't see anything in there that helps answer my question. I've tried a couple different searches in different areas of the forums but nothing is coming back to me that looks similar to my issue. 

Thanks any assistance!

Hi @Austin Barber ,

Lets assume you have the following Web Server web applications ...

- AppNet

- AppNetDocPop

- AppNetAD

In this example, AppNet is the base Web Server installed using the installer and the other two were created using WAMCON.  Here is an example of the steps you can use to upgrade ...

- Backup all web.configs

- Upgrade AppNet using the setup.exe to OnBase Foundation EP5

- Remove AppNetDocPop and AppNetAD (i.e. remove the web apps in IIS and delete the folders)

- Use WAMCON to create AppNetDocPop and AppNetAD (or manually create them)

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the typed out example. I believe that makes sense and will give it a try. I appreicate the help.

As @Adam Shane recommends, we rename the old directories before make additional copies of the AppServer and AppNet webapps. This is useful when you want to compare web.config between the new and old versions.
