Appboard/2.4/admin/installation

Planning

1. Obtain the latest GA version
2. Verify the target system meets the System Requirements
3. Ensure you have a valid license file

Installation

• Windows Installation Guide
• Linux / UNIX Installation Guide

A clean AppBoard install will be missing many common JDBC database drivers due to licensing restrictions. Refer to the Related Topics below.

Upgrading

When upgrading there are additional considerations:

1. major version upgrades should be performed in a lab before deploying to production, for example moving from AppBoard v2.3 to v2.4. Once any differences have been dealt with, a new version archive can be produced and this used when upgrading production.
2. ensure you have a full archive before starting (see Backup and Recovery)
3. perform a clean installation, then restore the archive. i.e. never uncompress a new version of the product over the top of an existing install unless directed by support.

Running AppBoard
