Running the Collaborate installer
When you run the Collaborate installer, the installer detects your existing version of Collaborate and prompts you to confirm the upgrade process. After your confirmation, the installer starts the upgrade process.
About this task
Follow the guidelines while you upgrade Collaborate:
- When the installer prompts you for the installation location, specify the location of the parent directory of the Collaborate installation directory.
- The upgrade process updates the previously migrated registration information for the new version of Collaborate.
The Collaborate upgrade installer overwrites setenv.sh/bat and udm_jdbc.properties in the <Collaborate Home>/tools/bin directory. If your installation is using the manual database set up, the files contain the database connection information. When you upgrade, add the database information in these files before starting the manual upgrade process.
Note: For detailed installation
steps to install Collaborate in
upgrade mode, see "How installers work" in the Collaborate Installation
Guide.
