Part 3: Start the upgraded Logi Report Server

  1. Start the upgraded Logi Report Server with the following command.
    ./Server.sh
    It may fail for the first time. If the server is a clustered server, try to start it again. If not, open the server.properties file located in <Server_install_root>/bin, and then change the value of the cluster.enable property from true to false.
  2. Login to the upgraded Logi Report Server after it starts.

Part 4: Upgrade the remote war

  1. Test the upgraded Logi Report Server. Shut it down after the test is successful.
  2. Back up the dbconfig.xml file under the <Server_install_root>/bin directory if the system database is NOT Derby.
  3. Copy the backup of the dbconfig.xml file to <Server_install_root>/bin again (ignore this step if using Derby).
  4. Create a remote.war file based on the upgraded Logi Report Server. Details here.
  5. Stop the application server (e.g., JBoss, Apache Tomcat, etc.).
  6. Back up and then delete the old remote.war and the folder created by the remote.war. As an example for Tomcat, delete the contents in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, and clear Tomcat’s cache (e.g., delete the folder $TOMCAT_HOME/work/localhost/remote).
  7. Redeploy the newly created remote.war to your application server.
  8. Start Logi Report Server and the application server.
