Upgrade Instructions

You only need to follow the redeployment instructions below if you had deployed the originally released dataverse-6.7.war in the few days before it was removed from the release page. If you followed the 6.7 instructions in their current form, you should already be running dataverse-6.7.1 below and do not need to do anything else.

These instructions assume that you've already upgraded through all the 5.x releases and are now running Dataverse 6.7.

0. These instructions assume that you are upgrading from the immediate previous version. If you are running an earlier version, the only supported way to upgrade is to progress through the upgrades to all the releases in between before attempting the upgrade to this version.

If you are running Payara as a non-root user (and you should be!), remember not to execute the commands below as root. By default, Payara runs as the dataverse user. In the commands below, we use sudo to run the commands as a non-root user.

Also, we assume that Payara 6 is installed in /usr/local/payara6. If not, adjust as needed.

export PAYARA=/usr/local/payara6

(or setenv PAYARA /usr/local/payara6 if you are using a csh-like shell)

1. List deployed applications

$PAYARA/bin/asadmin list-applications

2. Undeploy the previous version (should match "list-applications" above)

$PAYARA/bin/asadmin undeploy dataverse-6.7

3. Download and deploy this version

wget https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/releases/download/v6.7.1/dataverse-6.7.1.war
$PAYARA/bin/asadmin deploy dataverse-6.7.1.war

Note: if you have any trouble deploying, stop Payara, remove the following directories, start Payara, and try to deploy again.

sudo service payara stop
sudo rm -rf $PAYARA/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated
sudo rm -rf $PAYARA/glassfish/domains/domain1/osgi-cache
sudo rm -rf $PAYARA/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib/databases
sudo service payara start
