- Place Nav_Server_10.4.2.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 a new install, install additional packages such as resource packs, scheduler, 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 to 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.
