Upgrading a Linux Package

The following instructions are very similar to those for installing the package. For more detail on the commands, refer to Installing the Linux Package.

1. From the command line, access the target host as root. For example, the following illustrates using the ssh command to access the server at targethost as the root user.
2. If you haven't yet done so, copy the new application package to the target host.
3. Set options for installation as described in Installing the Linux Package.
4. Upgrade the application package using an rpm command such as the following. Here, the "U", “h”, and “v” options are provided to indicate install with hash indicators, and to be verbose during the installation.

   rpm -Uhv jive_sbs_employee-3.0.1_dev.RHEL-5.x86_64.rpm

   The following shows console output for a successful upgrade using the preceding command.

   [root@targethost ~]# rpm -Uvh jive_sbs_employee-3.0.1_dev.RHEL-5.x86_64.rpm

5. With a supported web browser, navigate to http://<hostname>/, where hostname is the DNS resolvable name of the server where the RPM was installed. There, you can proceed with the upgrade using the upgrade console.
6. After you've finished the upgrade with the upgrade console, you'll need to restart the application. To do this, log into the target host as the jive user and execute the following commands:

   [1520][root@targethost:~]$ appstop --verbose
   Stopping sbs...
   Executing /usr/local/jive/applications/sbs/bin/manage stop
   sbs stopped successfully.
   All applications stopped successfully (1 total).

   Starting sbs...
   Executing /usr/local/jive/applications/fsbs/bin/manage start
   sbs started successfully.
   All applications started successfully (1 total).

7. You're finished!
