August 27, 2010

If you are upgrading from the DVN v2.1 to DVN v2.1.1, the
following tasks need to be performed:


1. Add new JVM option:
-Ddvn.networkData.libPath=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-apps/DVN-EAR
Restart the Glassfish server for this change to take affect.

2. Make sure you put the contents of the config.zip bundle into the
<GLASSFISH_DIRECTORY>/domains/domain1/config, as a couple of new
configuration files have been added.

3. Delete all the previously created cached file format conversion bundles on your
file system.

It is good practice to back up your database before beginning. It's also advisable to redirect traffic to a maintenance page so users do not modify data while the upgrade is taking place.

The basic upgrade procedure is as follows:
1. Deploy DVN-EAR-2-1.ear.
      This copies over the new application code and creates any new tables.
2. Run the sql script, buildupdate_v2_0_v2_1.sql.
