Summary: This section describes the upgrade process for the integrated CAST RESTAPI (CAST-RESTAPI-integrated.war) when using the Dashboards embedded in AIP Console. CAST highly recommends upgrading this file when upgrading to a new release of the AIP Console/AIP Node packages. |
| Note |
|---|
If you are not using the Dashboards embedded in AIP Console, this step is not required. Instead, please see Standalone Dashboard upgrade. |
Step 1 - Ensure Apache Tomcat is stopped
Before starting, ensure that Apache Tomcat is not running.
Step 2 - Deploy the new CAST-RESTAPI-integrated.war
Obtain the new CAST-RESTAPI-integrated.war file from the AIP Console media and rename it so that you can deploy it alongside the existing CAST-RESTAPI-integrated.war file, for example to CAST-RESTAPI-integrated_new.war. Now unzip the CAST-RESTAPI-integrated_new.war to the following location:
| Code Block |
|---|
CATALINA_HOME\webapps |
This should give you the following file hierarchy:
Step 3 - Copy and paste files from existing WAR file into the new WAR file
Copy the following files from the existing WAR file:
| Code Block |
|---|
CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-RESTAPI-integrated\META-INF\context.xml
CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-RESTAPI-integrated\WEB-INF\license.key
CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-RESTAPI-integrated\WEB-INF\domains.properties |
And paste them in to the relevant location in the new WAR file, overwriting the existing files if they exist:
| Code Block |
|---|
CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-RESTAPI-integrated_new\META-INF\context.xml
CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-RESTAPI-integrated_new\WEB-INF\license.key
CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-RESTAPI-integrated_new\WEB-INF\domains.properties |
Step 4 - Undeploy the existing WAR file
Undeploy the existing CAST-RESTAPI-integrated.war file from Apache Tomcat - you can use Apache Tomcat manager to do this, or simply delete the relevant folder and file in CATALINA_HOME\webapps.
Step 5 - Rename the new WAR file and corresponding folder
Rename the new WAR file and its corresponding folder to match the name used by the previous WAR file:
Step 6 - Restart Apache Tomcat
Restart Apache Tomcat and ensure that the CAST-RESTAPI-integrated webapp has started correctly using Apache Tomcat manager:
Step 7 - Check access to CAST Dashboards from AIP Console
Browse to your AIP Console URL http://<server>:8081/ui/index.html, login to AIP Console and check that you can access the Engineering and Health Dashboards via the options:
Troubleshooting
Cannot access the Dashboards post upgrade
Check that:
