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 moved to: <inubit-installdir>/inubit/apache-tomcat-<version>

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

After the update

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

  • Link: In the <inubit-installdir>/inubit/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>.

Manual Apache Tomcat update

If you want to use a different Tomcat installation than the one currently located in <inubit-installdir>/inubit/apache-tomcat, this is easily possible.

The Tomcat version included with the installation is tested and recommended for use with INUBIT.

Using a different Tomcat version is at your own risk.

Prerequisites

  • INUBIT Process Engine is shutdown.

Proceed as follows

  1. Place the new Apache Tomcat on your system.

  2. In the file <inubit-installation-directory>/inubit/inubit_setenv.[sh|cmd] set the value of the environment variable CATALINA_HOME to the newly installed Apache Tomcat folder.

  3. Start the Process Engine.
