Upgrading from earlier versions

There is no direct upgrade path, some manual steps are involved :

  • We assume that the current installation is under /path/current_ppack, adjust procedure accordingly.
  • We assume the version you want to install is version XXYY

    Steps :

    • Create a folder /path/ppackXXYY and unzip the new product file there.
    • Unzip the new product zip file under /path/ppackXXYY
    • Copy the following files and folders from /path/current_ppack/config/custom/*.confcurrent_ppack to /path/ppackXXYY/config/custom/
    • Copy /path/ current_ppack/product.lic to /path/ ppackXXYYppackXXYY
