I.1 Notes on the installation and un-installation of Application Server

Common to OSs

All the directories other than those storing the customized files, such as user-defined files, are deleted. Therefore, do not store required files in the product directory.

The directories to be deleted are deleted unconditionally. Therefore, do not store user-specific files in these directories.

If you install and un-install this product version or the evaluation version, and then install an earlier product version, make sure that the environment (Application-Server-installation-directory\CC, or /opt/Cosminexus/CC) created with this version does not remain in the installation destination. If the environment created with this version is retained, the version is not migrated to the earlier version; therefore, the product operations and the update installation performed later might not function properly. If the environment created with this version is retained, change the installation destination, or delete or migrate the environment created with this version, and then install the product.

--

When you perform an update installation (migration from a previous version) or overwrite installation of Application Server, the installer initializes the files that Application Server provides. For this reason, we recommend that you back up any necessary files under Application-Server-installation-directory\jdk before running the installer.

Note that files under Application-Server-installation-directory\jdk that are not related to Application Server will be left in place. Delete or move these files as needed.

For information about how this version of the installer differs from past versions and other details about update and overwrite installations, see 10. Migrating from Application Server of Earlier Versions (In the J2EE Server Mode) in the Application Server Maintenance and Migration Guide.

Common to UNIX

Only a user who has the root permission can update the installation destination directories and files. Therefore, when Component Container Administrator is set up, specify the Component Container Administrator write permission for the following directories and files:

• /opt/Cosminexus/c4web/attachments directory

• Files beneath the /opt/Cosminexus/c4web/conf directory

• /opt/Cosminexus/c4web/logs directory

Also, if the directory for storing the attachments and the directory to output the trace files are specified, set up the attributes of these directories as well.

Note that when you perform an update installation with the same version (overwrite), the directory and file attributes return to the default status. In this case, change the directory and file attributes in accordance with the operations.
