How to keep your Tomcat Server up to date



Environment

Vantage Storage Point Web Client

Resolution

1.(Recommended) With the Pax file of the new release, do the whole installation again, specifying to use the old database.  Delete the contents of the /vantagegmi/install and /vantagegmi/runtime directories. Not the /vantagegmi/webclientdb contents. Load the pax file into /vantagegmi/install, unpax it, and run (perform) the installation.

2. Replace the WAR file in the webapps folder under the tomcat installation. Be sure to delete the VantageGMI folder because this will be extracted again at the start of the application. 

Do you need to delete the existing Vantage Storage Point Web Client? 
You can specify the same location for tomcat and the database. But it is recommended to delete those folders before installation.
