- Check System Requirements and Compatibility for changes to the system requirements or supported database versions. For example, you may need to upgrade your database or Java version.
- Ensure you have a backup of the database before upgrading PhixFlow.
Follow the Upgrading PhixFlow steps. It is important to complete Step 8, in which you apply any Special Upgrade Instructions for all the intermediate releases between your current version and the version to which you are upgrading.
- Needed? This release includes changes that affect the PhixFlow database. After upgrading, remember to republish the PhixFlow data as described in Step 10 of Upgrading PhixFlow.
Special Instructions
Create new phixflow configuration files
You must create new version of $webapp/WEB-INF/classes
/phixflow-login.xml
To do this:
- Rename your existing configuration file, for example by adding a
.bak
suffix. - Follow the Install the PhixFlow Webapp instructions for creating a new file from the
.example
file provided. - Copy the individual values from your existing configuration file and paste them into the new file.
Avoid copying entire XML blocks into your new configuration files, as you may overwrite a section of the configuration file that PhixFlow needs.
