- Obtain new licenses for the new release, if it is a major upgrade with a new main version number.
- Run the automated
software update to replace installed software and/or data that should be updated.Companyname - Roll back to pre-update state if something goes wrong.
There are three ways to run the update process:
Online update

Command line options
These options are also available using the ewupdate utility. Default options can be changed using the command-line options listed, which correspond to the options presented in web GUI mode. For additional update options, use the –help command to print a list of commands.
Update option | Corresponding ewupdate command-line option | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
Backup database data using OS-level backup | -k,--skiposlevel | This command only applies if the built-in MySQL server is used. Under normal circumstances a full OS-level backup is made. Use this option to skip the default OS-level backup of the MySQL directory. No database restoration will be possible if the upgrade fails. | |
Skip checkers unless any patchers were run | -p,--scup | When the application server starts it performs data checks for consistency; data checking may take a long time. Use this option to skip data checking if no data was changed on update. This may speed the application server starting. | |
Skip project backup if possible | -K,--skipprjbckp | At the very beginning of the update process all existing projects are saved to the backup directory. If this option is set then no project backup is performed, if allowed. Project backup is required in some update modes. | |
Don't delete temporary files after update | -t,--keeptemp | Upon update, temporary files are normally stored on the hard drive. These may include data backups, unpacked new

Don't backup temporary files - logs etc

Disabling email processes is also useful for debugging. The option 'Add a prefix to the subject of all sent mail' can be used for debugging, or to label all emails sent from the server as belonging to a test server.
To disable outgoing or incoming email message processing...
- Navigate to the Mail Settings page of the Setup utility.
- To turn off outbound email, deselect the checkbox next to 'Enable automatic mail sending.'
- To turn off inbound email processing, deselect the checkbox next to 'Enable automatic processing of incoming mail.'
When inbound or outbound mail processing is disabled, messages still waiting to be processed are stored in queues. When mail processing is re-enabled, these messages will be sent or delivered. In order to prevent this, clear the outbound or inbound mail queue before re-enabling email processing.
To clear email queues for the whole server...
- From the Mail settings page, use the following buttons:
- Clear outgoing mail messages queue – this clears any outbound emails stored in the system but not sent.
- Clear incoming mail message queue – this clear any inbound emails received but not yet processed by the system.
