General Steps When Upgrading to a New Version, Version 5.2

If you are upgrading to a newer version and want to copy your existing configurations/properties into the new version, you should perform the following:

  • Copy projects\rtview-server\project.properties and project.properties.json from the existing version to the projects\rtview-server directory in the new installation.
  • If you defined a custom java command, you should rebuild your class against the new version. If you defined your custom java command under projects\custom, copy the java file from your old installation into the projects\custom\src\com\sl\rtvapm\custom directory and execute projects\custom\src\make_all.bat (or .sh).
  • If you edited your my_alert_action scripts in your existing version, you should copy those scripts from the existing directory into the projects\rtview-server directory in the new installation. (DataServer deliverables only)
  • If you hand-edited properties files or used the Property Editor Rest API to auto-update connections, you should copy those properties files into projects\rtview-server directory in the new installation.
  • You should also replicate any edits that you made to the existing rtvservers.dat file into the rtvservers.dat file in the projects\rtview-server directory in the new installation. SL Corporation does not recommend copying the old rtvservers.dat file into the new release because it might have changed between releases.
