Upgrade

Upgrade of an existing installation is done the same way as when you do a clean installation. Same Bash script and property file. See previous section. When uppgradering, two things to notice:

  • In the fortifiedid.properties file update the APP_LINK setting with the new link .

  • Folders, /application and /JRE, will be replaced during upgrade. Do not store any custom data there. The folder called /customer will not be replaced since it contains your customer data.

Restart

Stop the service by running ./stop.sh

Start the service again by running ./startup.sh -c Node ../customer/config/config.json
