Upgrading Sun Java System Application Server

The Sun Java System Application Server Standard and Enterprise Edition 7 2004Q2 Update 7 installer allows you to upgrade from a previous version of the Application Server to the current version. The various Application Server installations on all the supported platforms can be upgraded to their corresponding version on the same platform and installation type. The following table identifies the upgrade options available.

• After an upgrade, you must compare the new configuration files with the original files in the backup directory for any changes. Custom settings made in the original configuration files might not be carried over to the new files after upgrading. You might experience issues during server restart if the new configuration files are not in sync with the older files that contained customized settings. The following files will be effected during an upgrade:

  • All *.conf files in install_dir/config.

  • server.xml (Admin and server instance)

  • Admin and server instance startserv scripts.

  • Admin and server instance server.policy file.

  • Server instance sun-acc.xml file.

  • docroot/index.html file.
