how to upgrade JasperServer1.2 with 1.2.1?

[dprogrammer]

I have a working install of JasperServer1.2 and instead of installing new version 1.2.1, I would like to upgrade/update the older version. Is it possible to do it? If not, I will have to go through a nightmare of installing it again as I went through with v1.2.

I've upgraded JasperServer from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1

I do not use the .exe installer, I use the .zip version, and upgrade it manually.

 

I only do the following 2 jobs, then it works for me:

• read 2.5.4 section of JasperServer-WarFile-Install-Guide.pdf, upgrade the database by executing 'mysql --user=user --password=password -D jasperserver < jasperserverPatch-1.2.0-1.2.1.ddl' shell command
• delete the old JasperServer web application, and install the new one[/ul]
