Upgrading the Software from Prior to 3.0

Ensure that you've installed the platform package to the new host.
Verify that you've backed up your jiveHome directory. You should also have a backup of your existing database.
Remove plugins from your older instance. Later, after you've got the upgraded instance running, re-install the plugins using the admin console.
Ensure that the existing application database has been migrated if it uses a DBMS not supported for this release. See the database prerequisites for more information.
Stop the default SBS application instance. By default, the Jive SBS Platform package installs an empty, unconfigured instance of the application software to the target host. Before upgrading, stop this instance as the jive system user:
```
[1635][jive@targethost:~]$ appstop --verbose
Stopping sbs...
Executing /usr/local/jive/applications/sbs/bin/manage stop
sbs stopped successfully.
All applications stopped successfully (1 total)
```
Transfer the jiveHome directory by using the tools provided with this distribution. See Transferring jiveHome Information for instructions.
With a supported web browser, navigate to http://<hostname>/, where hostname is the DNS resolvable name of the server where the package was installed. There, you can proceed with the upgrade using the upgrade console.

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][jive@kuato:~]$ appstop --verbose
Stopping sbs...
Executing /usr/local/jive/applications/sbs/bin/manage stop
sbs stopped successfully.
All applications stopped successfully (1 total).
[1520][jive@kuato:~]$ appstart --verbose
Starting sbs...
Executing /usr/local/jive/applications/fsbs/bin/manage start
sbs started successfully.
All applications started successfully (1 total).

You're finished!
