Upgrading Release 5 Web Server

This section discusses considerations that impact the upgrade procedure for Web Server, followed by a description of the procedure itself.

Upgrade Considerations

The upgrade of Web Server software to Java ES Release 5U1 takes into account the following considerations:

• In a deployment architecture in which there are multiple instances of Web Server running on a single computer (all corresponding to the same installed Web Server image), you only have to upgrade the Web Server image once.

• In a maintenance upgrade, you do not have to migrate schema, configuration, security or user data.

• The Release 5U1 Web Server upgrade patches for Windows are shown in the following table:

Upgrade Procedure

The procedure documented below applies to Web Server instances residing locally on the computer where the upgrade is taking place.

To Upgrade Web Server to Java ES 5 Update 1

1. Log in as administrator.

2. Shut down the Release 5 Web Server instances and the administration server.

      The Web Server 7.0 Administration Server Login page appears.

   2. Type the User Name and Password, then click OK.

      The Web Server 7.0 Administration Server page appears.

   3. Select a Server from the drop down list, and click Manage.

      The Server Manager page appears.

   4. Click Server Off.

      Using the Command-Line Interface:

      • Change to WebServer-base\admin-server\bin.

      • Run the stopserv.bat command to stop the Web Server processes.

        The Web Server stops and a confirmation dialog box appears.

   5. To stop the Web Server instance, change to WebServer-base\https-hostName.domainName\bin.

   6. Run the stopserv.bat command.

3. Make sure you have upgraded any Java ES components upon which Web Server has hard upgrade dependencies (see Upgrade Web Server Dependencies.

4. Obtain the required Web Server Release 5U1 upgrade patches, based on Table 5–4.

   To obtain the patch, see Accessing Java ES Patches. Patches can be downloaded to \workingDirectory.

5. Install the patch.

   Installation is generally performed by running patch-id.exe, however, be sure to consult the README.patch-id file in the patch directory for installation instructions.

6. Verify the patch log file.

   The log file is found at: %TEMP%\SUNJAVAES_<patch-id>.log

7. Verify the patch installation with the utility ListJavaESPatches.exe.

   Run ListJavaESPatches.exe and check that the output includes the patch id of the patch that you have installed in Step 5. For more information, see Identifying Installed Java ES Patches.

8. Start the Release 5U1 Web Server instances and the administration server.
