Update Setup of AuraPlayer on Tomcat Server Follow

Requirements for the process:

• URLs of the existing ServiceManager and username/password - in order to perform backup
• Access to the AuraPlayer servers machines that we would like to upgrade
• Copy file (ServiceManager.war) to the server machines
• stop/start tomcat
• Estimated server down time - 1 hours.

Steps to update setup of AuraPlayer on Tomcat server: 

1. Perform Backup of AuraPlayer:

 

- Login to Service Manager. 

- Perform Backup:

Go to Admin tab → then to the Data Management section → click on the Backup button. 

- A backup file would be downloaded to your Downloads directory: auraplayer_backup_YYYYMMDD.zip

* Note that the backup does not include the statistics data. The statistics data can be backed up manually from Admin → Advanced → Backup Statistics.

 

2. Save the location of the Service Manager Local directory

In Admin Tab copy the location from the Server Information pane

 

3. Stop Tomcat.

 

4.  Go to <tomcat directory>\webapps. Delete the following file/folder:

• ServiceManager directory.
• Servicemanager.war file

IMPORTANT: Do NOT keep the ServiceManager and war files inside the tomcat directory ! if you want to back them up - copy them outside of the tomcat directory!

 

5. Copy the new ServiceManager.war file to <tomcat directory>\webapps

 

6. Start Tomcat.

 

7. Map the location of the Service Manager Local directory to the correct location (as saved in step 2)

Go to Admin Tab -> then go to Server Information section -> check the current value set for the local directory. If has different value from the one saved in step 2 then click the "Edit" button and set to the correct path.

Note: if you change this field restart of ServiceManager would be required

 

 

8. Perform Restore of the backed-up files:

Click on the Admin Tab → then go to the Data Management section → click on the Restore button → select “From file”.
