Database Updates

SQL Database Users

  1. Write down your current program version.

    Edit your configuration.properties file. For the upgrade script to run, you must create a configuration.properties file that uses a standard JDBC Connect String. This is because the upgrade script will not have access to JNDI variables when it runs. For information on editing configuration.properties, refer to configuration.properties.
  4. Run the db upgrade scripts in the WEB-INF/sql directory. If your current version <

    Your Version < 3.1.x - run310.bat or .sh
    Your Version < 3.2.x - run320.bat or .sh
    Your Version < 3.3.x - run330.bat or .sh
    Your Version < 3.4.x - run340.bat or .sh
    Your Version < 4.0.x - run400.bat or .sh

    You must run each required script in order.
