Howto upgrade Workspace version

If you have installed Workspace and you want to advance to newer version, you need a newer Workspace binary installation package.

Ask for proper installation package from sales@smilehouse.com.

The actual upgrading process is similar to installation process.
For more information about installation:

During upgrade in Windows the Tomcat must be stopped. On other platforms it is recommended.
The differences between installation and upgrade:

  • In upgrade you have more information prefilled.
  • In upgrade you must give one of existing organization.

How to proceed:

  • Use the same user than in installation. If the user is different you may have problems with reading and writing rights during installation.
  • Unzip package and run suitable installation script from Installation folder.
    If you want to run text version of installer then use --text option after script name
    computer:~/Workspace_Standard-v1.4/Installation/macOSX $ sudo sh ./install.sh --text
    ##############################################################################
    #                 Welcome to Smilehouse Workspace installer!                 #
    ##############################################################################
    
    Installer shall check first few basic settings before continuing

  • Answer to all installation questions (most of them should be prefilled).
  • And when installer asks about organization name, use the same name as in previous version. It is normal to have Organization exists warning here.
After that installer will update binary code, configurations and organization database.

Restart Tomcat and you have a new version of Smilehouse Workspace.
