Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Upgrade Guide

ProcedureTo Upgrade by Using the Upgrade Tool Wizard

  1. Start the wizard as follows.

    • On a UNIX system, change to the as-install/bin directory and type asupgrade.

    • On a Windows system, double-click the asupgrade.bat icon in the as-install/bin directory.

  2. In the Source Domain Directory field, type the domain directory of the existing installation from which to import the configuration, or click Browse.

    For example, you might type c:\glassfish\domains\domain1.

  3. In the Target Domains Root Directory field, type the location of the GlassFish Server 3.0.1 installation to which to transfer the configuration, or click Browse.

    The default is the full path name of the domains directory of your GlassFish Server 3.0.1 installation (for example, c:\glassfishv3\glassfish\domains).

  4. (Optional) Provide the master password of the source application server.

    The domain will be upgraded using these credentials.

  5. Click Next.

    A dialog box informs you that domain1 already exists in the target directory and asks if you would like to rename it. If you click OK, the directory is renamed domain1.original. If domain1.original already exists, the directory is named domain1.original.0.

    The Upgrade Results page displays the status of the upgrade operation.

  6. Click Finish to exit the Upgrade Tool when the upgrade process is complete.

Next Steps

After you complete the upgrade, start the GlassFish Server using the asadmin start-domain command. Log in to the Administration Console with the user name and password you used in the older server.

To register your installation of GlassFish Server from the Administration Console, select the Registration node. For step-by-step instructions on the registration process, click the Help button on the Administration Console.

Visit the URL http://localhost:8080 to view the domain-dir/docroot/index.html file. This file is brought over during the upgrade. You may want to copy the default GlassFish Server 3.0.1 file from the domain1.original/docroot directory and customize it for your GlassFish Server 3.0.1 installation.
