Application server update (Apache Tomcat)

The installer updates the application server for all INUBIT components.

If there is a newer Tomcat version as the current one, the patch installer automatically creates a backup of the Tomcat directory and installs the new Tomcat version. The following steps are performed:

  1. The current Tomcat directory is renamed to: <inubit-installdir>/apache-tomcat-<version>

  2. The new Tomcat version is installed in the following directory: <inubit-installdir>/apache-tomcat

During the update of the Tomcat, the previous version is automatically backed up.

The directory <inubit-installdir>/server/process_engine will not be backed up. Only standard Tomcat <inubit-installdir>/apache-tomcat directory get updated and a backup of old version is taken.

After the update

  • Driver: No adjustments for drivers etc. are required. be made

  • Link: In the inubit_setenv.[sh|bat] file, the entry for "CATALINA_HOME" points to the newly added Tomcat installation folder.

  • Backup: The previous Tomcat installation is located in the folder apache-tomcat-<version>.
