Manual Upgrade

• Stop RapidDeploy as follows, which will write the in-memory database to file:

  ${MV_HOME}/bin/stop-web-app.sh

• Check that the following file is present:

  ${MV_HOME}/users/<RD-USER>/mv-data.rds

  Where RD-USER is the OS user you used to install/start RapidDeploy.

• Back up the following directories:

  ${MV_HOME}/logs
  ${MV_HOME}/projects
  ${MV_HOME}/buildstore
  ${MV_HOME}/promotionstore 
  ${MV_HOME}/resources
  ${MV_HOME}/users
  ${MV_HOME}/snapshots
  ${MV_HOME}/libraries
  ${MV_HOME}/proj-lib

• Install the new version of RapidDeploy
• Restore the directories you backed up to the same locations
• If you have made changes to the $MV_HOME/bin/rapiddeploy.properties file, re-apply these changes to the new file (perform a diff if necessary).
• Start the new instance of RapidDeploy as follows:

  ${MV_HOME}/bin/start-web-app.sh

Using the provided script (recommended for Linux and Mac users)

• Prior to upgrading, run the following script with the 'backup' argument, which copies the required files to the /tmp directory on your server into a new folder with the current date stamp:

  cd ${MV_HOME}/bin
  ./upgrade.sh backup

• Move the $MV_HOME folder to another backup location

  cd ../..
  mv midvision midvision-backup-1

• Unzip the new RapidDeploy assembly (shown for Mac, amend for your platform)

  unzip rapiddeploy-web-app-macosx.zip

• Rerun the upgrade script with the 'restore' argument:

  cd ${MV_HOME}/bin
  ./upgrade.sh restore

• You will be prompted to amend the new rapiddeploy.properties file with any differences detected between the two versions.

  vi ${MV_HOME}/bin/rapiddeploy.properties
