Installing Latitude Studio 2.2.x and restoring backups

You next install Latitude Studio 2.2.x. After installing, you use your backed-up files to restore your data and custom settings. You delete the directory containing your previous version, then start Latitude Studio 2.2.x.

To complete the upgrade to Latitude Studio 2.2.x:

  1. Install Latitude Studio 2.2.x, following the steps in the Latitude Installation Guide. Do not start the server.
  2. Restore the entire endeca-portal\data directory from your safe backup location. Overwrite the endeca-portal\data files that were installed with the Latitude Studio 2.2.x.

    If you have changed the location of anything normally kept in endeca-portal/data, such as your data source definitions, JCR repository, or Lucene search indexes, restore and re-verify your custom locations as well.

  3. Restore your database, as follows:
    • If you are using HSQL, skip this step, since your database was restored as part of step 2.
    • If you are using MYSQL, DB2, or some other RDBMS, your database should still be intact. If it is not, follow the restore procedures from your vendor.
  4. Configure Latitude Studio to connect to your database.

    If you are not using HSQL, you should have created a backup of your database connection strings earlier.

  5. Delete the renamed directory containing your earlier version of the Latitude Studio.
  6. Place the Latitude Studio license file in the endeca-portal\deploy directory.

    The license file is available from the Latitude Studio section of EDeN (http://eden.endeca.com).

  7. Start Latitude Studio 2.2.x.

    Before you start to use the application, make sure that you wait until all of the components have been deployed and registered. To verify that the upgrade is truly complete, you can monitor the log files to see when all activity has stopped.
