ABOUT:
This package can be used for a new installation or to update an existing installation.
Please see the WGS Expert installation guide for specific steps to proceed.
This version ships a new security manager web application (navxwsm), which requires the new REST API 10.4.0. The package also includes the original web security manager (apodwsm).
Both are compatible with 10.4 and either (or both) can be used. The new one offers significant usage improvements and benefits. In order to run navxwsm, you must have the REST interface active and apply the 10.4.0 REST Prereq Pack.
Support for Solace Pubsub+ is new for this release. The primary deliverable was support via the REST API, but we included GUI viewlet support. We encourage comments regarding this new functionality.
Installation Overview
- Stop all Navigator processes (including CEP and Domain Server).
- Back up the %APWMQ_HOME% directory and existing database tables.
- Place Nav_Server_10.4.0.zip in the installation directory (%APWMQ_HOME%).
- Unzip the file.
- Extract contents 'here', under %APWMQ_HOME%, replacing existing content.
- Run pkgman to install the latest WGS_10 package.
a) If this is a new install, install additional packages such as resource packs, scheduler, and experts.
- Run nsqjdbcmk to upgrade your database tables.
- Copy the war files from the webapps folder to the Tomcat webapps folder.
- Restart Navigator processes.
- Finalize any setup for WGS operation, including configuration of WGS, REST API, and scheduler.
IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES:
When upgrading from a version prior to 10.1.x, you will need to review the connection definitions. See the
Installation Guide or this FAQ (https://customers.meshiq.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500001339321) for details.
In Summary, 10.1.x and higher move the management of Workgroup server connections from a user task to an administrator task. However, since existing definitions may have various attributes, a first step after
upgrading is for an administrator to review the generated ones (names start GEN_), rename them, and clean up any that are not required.
If upgrading from Scheduler 1.11 to a later version and you want to preserve currently scheduled jobs, a manual SQL statement must be run.
Please contact your Support Representative for help with this step.
