These are the special instructions for upgrading to CenterView 5.9.0

These instructions should be read together with the Standard Upgrade Instructions.

Instructions

Migrate the Email Accounts

Follow these instructions after you have upgraded the database and have re-started Tomcat.

Summary

The Email Sender and Fetcher accounts were previously configured in XML files. From 5.9 they are configured via the GUI.

The migration process is manual. If you have configured email accounts prior to 5.9, you must re-enter the Email Account settings into the new configuration forms:

Outbound Email Account

1. Make a backup copy of the centerview-datasource.xml file.
2. Open the centerview-datasource.xml file.
3. Note the port, host, username, password and javaMailProperties values.
4. Delete the mailSender bean from the centerview.datasource.xml file.
5. In CenterView go to Admin → Manage Email Accounts and add a new account.

6. Tick the Outbound flag, type the account name and enter values from the step 2. The Properties have format: property.name=value. Each property should be entered in new line. Tick Enabled.

7. Restart Tomcat

Inbound Email Account

1. Make a backup copy of the centerview-email.xml file.
2. Open the centerview-email.xml file.
3. Note the enabled, port, host, protocol, username and password values.
