Upgrading Only the Web Central Core

Note: This topic describes the manual entries advanced users can make in the application-update.properties file when running the deployment packager actions without using the Package and Deploy Wizard . You can also use the Package and Deploy Wizard to upgrade only the core: When you select Web Central Core only on the Specify Update Type tab, the Package and Deploy Wizard writes these entries for you. See Using the Package and Deploy Wizard .

You might want to update only the Web Central core program, and keep all of your applications exactly as they are. This can be the case when your staff is familiar with the applications and does not wish to change, or when your system integration staff has made selected changes in multiple applications and you do not wish to merge them with the new Archibus application files. In this case, you want new features or fixes of the new Archibus core, but you do not want to change any aspect of your applications.

You can instruct the application-update.properties entries to preserve *all* of your applications as they stand, while still upgrading the core, the System Administration features, and the Technologies examples.

To do so, uncomment the following lines in the default application-update.properties file:

# All Domains and Applications # Preserve *all* application files in all domains #AbCore #extension=\ab-products\* #extension=\web-inf\lib\archibus-rplm-common.jar #extension=\web-inf\lib\archibus-project-common.jar #extension=\web-inf\lib\archibus-bldgops-common.jar #extension=\web-inf\lib\archibus-move-management.jar #extension=\web-inf\lib\archibus-workplace-reservations
