Software update
Installation
Extras menu / Online update
By updating your software, you will always have access to the latest
developments. The update package is available on the
United Planet Download Server. The software update can be started
at any time from the
Extras menu / Online update or
you can activate a
setting
to check for an update every time you start the
Portal Manager.
In total, there are three options for the update:
-
Update the Portal Server and Portal Manager on the server system
The update is performed on the Portal Server and Portal Manager
at the same time, if it is started on the system where the Portal Server
is installed.
-
Only update the Portal Server on the server system
To update the Portal Server, start the Portal Manager installed
on the server system.
-
Only update the Portal Manager
This option can be performed directly on a client for the Portal
Manager installed there. If the software update is performed from
a Portal Manager on the client, the Portal Server currently connected
will not be updated. The update package is simply transferred to the
Portal Server. A message will be shown in this case that informs the user
that the Portal Server update needs to be performed on the server system.
 |
An update of the portal server must always be run before the
Portal Manager can be updated. If you perform a software update,
you may be informed that you need to
restart the services.
Please note: When the services are restarted, processes, such as timer actions or data transfers, can be interrupted.
Therefore, it may make sense to perform the update when a transaction
of this type will not run throughout the duration of the update.
After the services have been restarted, users need to log in to the
portal again. If other actions are required, such as republishing
applications, then you will be informed of this during the
update process.

Update on Linux headless Server
Please note for installations on a Linux headless server:
The installer must be executed with the system property
java.awt.headless=true
To do this, the file
"/opt/intrexx/bin/linux/updinstall.sh"
must be udpated as follows:
# now start the java vm
jre/linux/bin/java -cp $lc_classpath -Djava.awt.headless=true
