Introduction
Your current version determines your upgrade path:
| Paths for Upgrading to Version 7 |
| |
You can upgrade directly to 7.1.0 if your instance is one of the following:
| 6.0.x | 6.1.x | 6.2.x | 6.3.x | 6.4.x |
If your instance is one of the older versions listed below, you must first upgrade to the latest version of 6.4.x before upgrading to 7.1.0:
| Version 5 | 5.0 | 5.1 | 5.2 | 5.5 | 5.6.x |
| Version 4 | 4.0 | 4.1 | 4.2.x | 4.5.x | 4.7.x |
For information about upgrading to 6.4.x, please see its release notes.
To upgrade, start with the WAR File Distribution ZIP: TIB_js-jrs-cp_7.1.0_bin.zip
Downloaded it from the Jaspersoft community site (http://community.jaspersoft.com).
The recommended upgrade procedures are fully described in the JasperReports Server Upgrade Guide.
| | If you are upgrading from certain versions of JasperReports Server, such as 6.0.1, 6.1, or 6.2.0, the upgrade involves substantial changes that may require you to plan and prepare beforehand. See the JasperReports Server Upgrade Guide for advice regarding these important considerations. Also, see Important Upgrade Information. |
Database Changes
Between certain versions of the server, we have changed the repository database in order to add new functionality. There are changes between 6.4.x and 7.1.
For information on database changes in previous releases, please see the latest 6.4.x release notes.
Upgrade from 6.4.x to 7.1.0
The recommended procedure for upgrading from 6.4.x is described in Chapter 3 of the JasperReports Server Upgrade Guide. Run this procedure from the command line. In summary:
| 1. | Copy the properties file: |
| cd <unpacked-dir>/buildomatic cp sample_conf/<dbType>_master.properties default_master.properties |
| 2. | Using a text editor, edit default_master.properties to add your application server and database server properties. |
| 3. | Run the install .sh or .bat file: |
| ./js-upgrade-samedb-ce.sh |
Upgrade from Older Versions
This upgrade procedure lets you upgrade from JasperReports Server versions 6.0.x through 6.3.x. The recommended procedure is described in Chapter 4 of the JasperReports Server Upgrade Guide. This procedure is run from the command line. In summary:
| 1. | Export your existing JasperReports Server repository data, either using the buildomatic/js-export.sh/bat command (for example, ./js-export-ce.sh --everything --output-zip my-export.zip), or by exporting directly from the web UI). |
| 2. | Change directories to the buildomatic directory (for example, cd <unpacked-dir>/buildomatic). |
| 3. | Copy the master properties file (for example, cp sample_conf/<dbType>_master.properties default_master.properties). |
| 4. | Edit the default_master.properties file to add your application server and database properties (for example, ./js-upgrade-newdb-ce.sh <path>/my-export.zip, or /.js-upgrade-newdb-ce.bat <path>/my-export.zip). |
