Upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4

Upgrading Weave from 2.3 to 2.4 currently requires a fresh installation of the new version and migration of an existing configuration.

Backing up client settings

Anything the user can save (bookmarks, redlines, etc) will be stored under the Weave installation directory (there are plans of providing the option to move this to a database), so they should be exported before the current Weave instance is decommissioned or upgraded.

This must be done from the osgi command prompt using the ustorage command. The ustorage command can save the current user settings to an external file using the following format

...

Info

Note that you need to be using version 1.1.0 of the com.cohga.server.user.storage.osgi bundle for the ustorage command, and version 1.1.2 of the com.cohga.server.storage.osgi bundle for the storage command. If you do not have these versions then
These are the versions included with Weave 2.4.0, so if you're running 2.4.0 or later then you already have the storage and ustorage commands available. They can be manually added to earlier 2.3.x versions of Weave, please contact Cohga for updated bundles if you're running a version earlier than 2.4.0.

Info

To execute these commands the server needs to either be started using startup.cmd (on Windows) or debug.sh (on Linux), to provide access to the osgi prompt directly, or started with telnet access enabled so that the osgi console can be remotely connected to using a telnet client, for situations where Weave is started as a background service and direct access to the osgi console isn't available.

Installation Sources

There are generally two installation sources for Weave, a CD image .iso file (that can either be burnt to a physical CD or mounted directly with the appropriate software) and a .jar file which is the actual Weave installer.
Starting the software installation is slightly different if you're installing from a CD than if you're installing from the .jar file, but the actual installation process is the same.
