 Upgrade Instructions

 To upgrade to the Fix Pack version 6.0.0.1, do the following:

  1. Ensure you have followed the ‘Installation Instructions’ section in the download link before proceeding further. Remove the FlatFile.xsd file if present in the updated CWYFF_FlatFile.rar file.
  2. If you need to use the Fix Pack for EMD, delete the connector project in the WID, import the new rar and apply the EIS specific dependency files.  The following steps describe how to do the same.

v     Open the Java Build Path for the SCA module and remove the Connector project selected on projects tab.

v     Open the dependency editor and remove the connector project.

v     Delete the connector project from workspace.

v     Import the new rar file. Add any dependency files from EIS specific APIs as needed.

v     Open Java build path for the SCA module and select the Connector project selected on projects tab.

v     Open the dependency editor and add the connector project if its not already present and check “Deploy with Module”.

  1. If you need to update deployed applications on the WPS

v     Select "Update" for the corresponding application on the WPS Admin Console.

v     Select "Single Module" with relative path as name of the rar file - CWYFF_FlatFile.rar.

v     Click the “Browse” button on local file system to select the updated rar file that has the changes.

v     Select the default values in the remaining steps and click ‘Finish’.  This will ensure that existing configurations e.g. MCF, are not changed and jars will be merely updated.
