Update Procedure for Installation On Premises

Procedures include that updates can be performed automatically using installation scripts:

• JS7 - Installation and Update using Unix Shell: for Unix environments
• JS7 - Installation and Update using PowerShell: for Windows and Unix environments:

In addition, users can choose to manually update as explained by the installation instructions.

Both options are indicated with the below update procedures.

JOC Cockpit

• Refer to the instructions in the JS7 - JOC Cockpit Installation On Premises article.
• Make a backup of the JOC Cockpit's installation directory.
• Option 1: Automated Update
  • Stop the JOC Cockpit daemon (Linux) or service (Windows) of any JOC Cockpit instances using the same database.
  • Take a backup of the JS7 - Database schema. During update changes to the database schema might be applied that prevent to rollback to the previous JOC Cockpit release.
  • Run the JOC Cockpit Installation Script for Update
    • JS7 - Unix Shell Installation Script - js7_install_joc.sh
    • JS7 - PowerShell Examples - Install-JS7Joc.ps1
• Option 2: Manual Update
  • Extract the installation archive .tar.gz/.zip file. It will create a sub-directory that includes the maintenance release number, for example joc.2.2.2.
    • Users can re-use an existing joc_install.xml installer response file from a previous installation for the same minor release.
    • Consider copying additional resources to the directory of the extracted installer archive, for example, to joc.2.2.2:
      • any JDBC Drivers that you downloaded individually for installation with a previous JOC Cockpit release,
      • the Hibernate configuration file that holds the database connection and that has been used for a previous installation,
      • the JS7 license key *.pem file if JS7 is operated with a Commercial License.
  • Stop the JOC Cockpit daemon (Linux) or service (Windows) of any JOC Cockpit instances using the same database.
  • Run the JOC Cockpit installer:
    • Invoke the installer script in the same way as for installation of a previous release, for example:
      • ./setup.sh|.cmd joc_install.xml
      • ./setup.sh|.cmd -u joc_install.xml
  • Start the JOC Cockpit daemon (Linux) or service (Windows).
