Running the Spotfire Server upgrade tool interactively
When you run the Spotfire Server upgrade tool interactively, you are prompted for information about both your older installation and your new installation.
About this task
Note: If
Spotfire Server
is set up to authenticate with the
Spotfire
database using Windows Integrated Authentication, you must run the upgrade tool
as the same user that
Spotfire Server
authenticates as. Otherwise, the upgrade tool cannot authenticate with the
database.
Before you begin
- You have installed the new version of Spotfire Server.
- You have a working backup of your Spotfire database.
- If you are using LDAPS, and if the CA certificate is not included in the cacert file by default, you must import the CA certificate used to issue the LDAP server's certificate before running the upgrade tool. See Configuring LDAP.
Procedure
What to do next
If there are changes needed after the upgrade (for example, port configuration or the location of TLS certificate), then manually edit the server.xml file, located in the directory <Spotfire Server install dir>/tomcat/conf.
