Installation:

If this is a new installation, please see our <a href=http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.13/installation/>Installation Guide</a>.

Upgrade:

  1. Undeploy the previous version.
  • <glassfish install path>/glassfish4/bin/asadmin list-applications
  • <glassfish install path>/glassfish4/bin/asadmin undeploy dataverse
  1. Stop glassfish and remove the generated directory, start

    • service glassfish stop
    • remove the generated directory: rm -rf <glassfish install path>glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated
    • service glassfish start
  2. Upgrade your version of PostgreSQL to at least 9.3. Version 9.6 is recommended.

  3. NOTE for Dataverse Installations running OpenStack Swift:

Now all Swift properties have been migrated to domain.xml, no longer needing to maintain a separate swift.properties file, and offering better governability and performance. Furthermore, now the Swift credential's password is stored using create-password-alias, which encrypts the password so that it does not appear in plain text on domain.xml.

In order to migrate to these new configuration settings, please visit http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.13/installation/config.html#swift-storage

  1. Deploy this version.

    • <glassfish install path>/glassfish4/bin/asadmin deploy <path>dataverse-4.13.war
