Upgrading Existing RMsis

In order to upgrade existing RMsis with new version, please follow below mentioned steps: -

1. Stop JIRA and Tomcat.
2. Take backup of existing database.

   • MySQL

     $ mysqldump -uroot -ppassword rmsis_database_name > backup_file.sql

     Note : For Microsoft SQL server 2005/2008 please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187048.aspx

3. Save your rm.war and jira-rmsis-x.x.x.jar, just in case you need to revert back to the old setup.
4. Upgrade rm.war
   
   1. Download new version of RMsis and unzip new rmsis*.zip.
   2. Go to the folder containing the contents of this new rrmsis*.zip
   3. Run setup.sh | setup.bat (linux | windows) as the case may be. This is absolutely critical, since it configures rm.was as per your local installation.
   4. Deploy the modified rm.war file to application server and remove old file (refer section RMsis Application Deployment).
5. Clear the Tomcat Cache. This can be done by deleting the TOMCAT_HOME/work/Catalina/<HOST_NAME>/rm folder.
6. Upgrade JIRA plugin
   
   1. Remove old jira-rmsis plugin from JIRA_HOME/plugins/installed-plugin/ directory.
   2. Install new JIRA plugin for RMsis (refer section Installation of JIRA plugin for RMsis).
7. Restart JIRA.
8. Open JIRA web link in web browser and login as "Administrator" and go to Administration Menu
9. Clear any existing listeners
   
   1. click on Listeners link under the system category.
   2. If any listener shows up with the name (RMsis Listener, com.optimizory.plugins.listener.RMsisListener) then delete this listener by clicking on delete link corresponding to that listener.
10. Now click RMsis menu on JIRA top navigation bar.
11. If required, follow instructions for license activation.
