This section describes how to update from Unwired Accelerator 7.0 to 8.0 when running in the Tomcat application server.
Pre-upgrade tasks
Before beginning the upgrade:
Back up your UA 7.0 installation. The upgrade process does not preserve the UA 7.0 installation. If you uninstall Unwired Accelerator 8.0 after you upgrade, everything is uninstalled, including anything from your UA 7.0 installation.
Shut down Tomcat. See “Starting and stopping the Tomcat application server”.
Open a Command Prompt window, and navigate to your UA 7.0 installation directory and start the ASA database by entering:
startdb.bat
Upgrading UA 7.0 to 8.0 (Tomcat)
Insert the Unwired Accelerator installation CD into your CD drive.
Perform an installation as described in “Installing Unwired Accelerator”.
You must use the same domain name, host name, database
port, HTTP port, and HTTPS port as you configured for your 7.0 installation. The
installer does not verify this information and will proceed with
the installation but UA will not start properly after the installation.
Select your existing UA installation directory as the installation directory. The Installer notifies you that you are performing an upgrade. During the upgrade, the Installer:
Overwrites unchanged UA 7.0 files with UA 8.0 files.
Renames files changed by both Sybase and the user with the .ChangedByUser file extension.
You must open each of the .changedByUser files listed in the installer window and manually merge each one according to the information contained within the file.
Keeps files that are unchanged by Sybase from version 7.0 to version 8.0, but modified by the user, and copies the corresponding UA 8.0 files with the file extension .ua8.
Retains the database files unchanged.
Updates the global.properties.xml file where necessary.
Creates a tomcat.old/webapps directory.
The Installation Progress window displays.
The Installation Summary window displays and reports success or failure of the installation.
Click Finish.
Click Yes, restart the computer now. UA starts as a Windows Service after the computer restarts.
Log in to Unwired Accelerator as described in “Verifying the installation”.
