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.
  4. in the builder, to ensure all widgets are upgraded it is necessary to visit every single board at least once.

Running AppBoard

Refer to the OS specific installation guides above for starting/stopping AppBoard. Also see the Accessing AppBoard page to access AppBoard once it's running.
