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 code, etc. By default, temporary files are removed after an update. If this option is set then temporary files are left on the device and will only be deleted before the next update.

Don't backup temporary files - logs etc

-i,--backuptemp

If this option is set then no temporary files such as log files are backed up before the update. This saves used disk space and shortens elapsed time.

For additional update options, use the –help command to print a list of commands.
