Overview

This

guide provides information on how you can complete an application server upgrade for CRM.COM software.

Prerequisites

Before upgrading CRM.COM software please make sure you have read the /wiki/spaces/V4ReleaseNotes/pages/888043on Discover.

Upgrade process

The following section includes a step by step guide to complete the application server upgrade.

Copy the installation files provided by CRM.COM to the /install directory

Before installing CRM.COM application make sure that you locate the EAR file and possible custom rar files in the following directory: /install/crm.com/YYYY-MM-DD

Where YYYY-MM-DD is the date stamp of the last installation that took place in this app server.

For example:

 $ ll /install/crm.com/2016-10-19
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 143155773 Oct 18 18:21 Crm_10.1.0(201610181820WFL).ear
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root    583511 Oct 19 12:59 org1_10.1.0(78606).rar
$

The example above shows that directory /install/crm.com/2016-10-19 has both a CRM release 10.1.0 built on 2016-10-18 at 18:20

And also a custom archive for organisation ORG1 with build version 78606 intended for CRM.COM release 10.1.0.
