Understanding the upgrade program
When you run the upgrade program, it performs the following tasks. BIRTiHubVisualization is the name of your existing installation folder.
*Identifies AC_CONFIG_HOME and AC_DATA_HOME using the acpmdconfig.xml file in the current installation.
*Renames the following folders in order to preserve any customizations you may have made:
*${ihub_home}/oda/eclipse/plugins/ to ${ihub_home}/oda/eclipse/plugins_old
*${ihub_home}/Jar/BIRT/ to ${ihub_home}/Jar/BIRT_old
*${ihub_home}/web/iportal/WEB-INF/lib/ to ${ihub_home}/web/iportal/WEB-INF/lib_old
*Deletes tools/lib/xmltask-ibm-jdk.jar and Jar/chatserver.jar.
*Renames your existing BIRTiHubVisualization folder to BIRTiHubVisualization_${uuid}, where uuid is a universally unique identifier such as de305d54-75b4-431b-adb2-eb6b9e546014.
*Copies the folder where you unzipped BIRTiHubVisualization.tar.gz to BIRTiHubVisualization/.
*Runs the upgrade script in the BIRTiHubVisualization folder.
*Renames the following web.xml files to web.xml.new. The settings in your old web.xml files are preserved.
*BIRTiHubVisualization/modules/BIRTiHub/iHub/web/iportal/WEB-INF/web.xml
*BIRTiHubVisualization/modules/BIRTiHub/iHub/web/mgmtconsole/WEB-INF/web.xml
*Overwrites BIRTiHubVisualization_${uuid}/ with BIRTiHubVisualization/. The shared/ and data/ folders and acpmdconfig.xml file are not overwritten.
*Overwrites ${AC_CONFIG_HOME} with BIRTiHubVisualization/shared/config/acserverconfig.xml. Your old acserverconfig.xml file is preserved, but it is updated with the new version number.
*Deletes BIRTiHubVisualization/.
*Renames BIRTiHubVisualization_${uuid}/ as BIRTiHubVisualization/.
*Upgrades acpmdconfig.xml to include new functionality, but preserves your settings.
*Displays a message indicating that the upgrade is complete.
*Prompts you to start iHub unless you specified automatic startup.
