  • 1.  Upgrading tomcat from Version 9.0.33 to 9.0.98

    Posted 5 days ago

     Hi everyone,
     I'm in the process of upgrading the Tomcat on Linux from Version 9.0.33 to 9.0.98, and I wanted to check with the community for any best practices and important considerations.
     - What are the necessary steps to upgrade Tomcat in an Automic environment?
     - Which configuration files need to be modified or migrated after the upgrade (e.g., `server.xml`, `context.xml`, `web.xml`)? 
     - Are there any known issues or compatibility considerations between different Tomcat versions and Automic?  

     - Do I need to update any specific Automic configurations (e.g., web apps, system settings, security)?
     Any advice or tips from your own experience would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    I recently upgraded us from 9.0.48 to 9.0.98 due to the security issue. We have this running on a windows server.

    I stopped the Apache Tomcat 9.0 Tomcat9 Service

    copied the <installdir>\tomcat 9.0\config directory to a backup location, specifically server.xml, web.xml and the keystore files.

    Uninstalled tomcat, when prompted I kept the files (the awi webapp files)

    I reinstalled tomcat using the default options. I did not start tomcat at this point

    I copied the config files to the newly installed 9.0.98 <installdir>\tomcat 9.0\config directory server.xml, web.xml and the keystore files.

    Then I executed the <installdir>\tomcat\bin\tomcat9w.exe, went to the Java tab and increased the Maximum Memory Pool.

    After this I started up the Apache Tomcat 9.0 Tomcat9 Service and the AWI loaded right up.

    We have encountered no issues with the AWI and this tomcat version. No changes were needed inside of Automic.
