Upgrading Studio

This section describes how to upgrade to Studio 3.0.x.

Requirement to use the same context root
The upgrade process assumes that you are using the same installation path and URL. You cannot change the context root during the upgrade process.
Verifying your default data source
After you upgrade, your Studio applications are all bound to the data source configured as the value of the df.defaultDataSource Framework Setting.
Stopping and uninstalling the Windows service (for Tomcat instances)
If your current instance of Studio is installed on Tomcat, and is running as a Windows service, then before you can start the upgrade, you must first stop and uninstall the service.
Backing up your Studio 2.4.x files
The first step in migrating to Studio 3.0.x is to back up the files from Studio 2.4.x.
Installing Studio 3.0.x and restoring backups
You next install Studio 3.0.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 Studio 3.0.x.
