Re: [GeoNetwork-users] How to upgrade easily to new version?

[heikki <tro...@gm...>]

It depends on where you're coming from.

If there have been no database changes since your current version, there is
no need to export / import data and things like that.

Supposing that's the case (say you are on GN2.4.2), then I would take these
steps:

- back up your current installation

- run installer and install GN 2.4.3

- in config.xml, jetty.xml, etc, apply the changes you've made in your
current installation. That might as well include the JDBC settings for your
DB, no need to use GAST for anything.

- make sure you copy uploaded images (previews and logos) from your current
installation

- apply any other customizations you've made, like for example the logo in
the header and whatever else you've changed.

That's it ! I think there is no need to do anything else.

As for risks, I think there are not too many. Keep the back-up of your
current installation, then you can switch back to that if it were necessary
almost instantly (just copy uploaded previews and logos if they have been
added to the new installation).


Kind regards
