Updating your instance or Jaspersoft version requires three main tasks:
| 1. | Export your repository. |
| 2. | Update the instance, to accommodate a different instance size and/or to move to a different version of JasperReports Server. |
| 3. | Import your repository into your new instance. |
After the upgrade, you'll have to re-apply any customizations you made to the instance outside of the user interface.
|  | You must be logged in as superuser to upgrade. |
To upgrade your instance:
| 1. | Navigate to Manage > Server Settings. |
| 2. | Click Export in the left column. The Export window appears. |
| Export Window |
| |
| 3. | Name your export data file and select the items to export. Choose Export everything or select specific items. |
| 4. | Click the Export button. You'll see a message that your export succeeded, and your file will be saved to your default download location. |
| | If you are using a yearly subscription, you cannot run two instances on the same subscription. You will need to stop the current instance before creating the new one. In AWS, go to EC2 Dashboard > Instances > Instances to stop the instance. |
| 5. | Create a new instance that uses the latest version of the Jaspersoft for AWS AMI. |
For instructions on creating an instance, see Creating a JasperReports Server Instance from a Jaspersoft CloudFormation Template or Creating a JasperReports Server Instance from the EC2 Console.
| 6. | Log into your new instance as superuser. |
| 7. | Navigate to Manage > Server Settings. |
| 8. | Click Import in the left column. The Import window appears. |
| Import Window |
| |
| 9. | Click the Choose File button, and select the file you exported in Step 4. |
| 10. | Select your import options. |
| 11. | Click the Import button. You'll see a message telling you your import succeeded. |
| 12. | If you've customized your instance outside of the user interface, re-apply your changes now. |
