Upgrading from Express v2.0 to v2.1 - Websydian Express for Windows

Always remember to do a backup prior to updating your Websydian Express installation.

Obtain Websydian Express v2.0 PTF package

Update runtime objects on the PC

The following information updates the runtime objects of your Websydian Express installation.

  1. Start by stopping your Websydian Express
  2. Unpack the obtained ZIP file to the root directory of your Websydian Express installation
    e.g. c:\program files\Websydian\Express v2.0 for Windows

Update database on SQL Server

Run the SQL script named upgrade.sql in the "SQL Server Management Studio" for the Websydian Express database.

The upgrade.sql is located in the root directory of your Websydian Express installation

Update Websydian Web Server Component

Make sure that you have a current backup of the WAR file deployed on your Web Server Servlet engine before continuing.

Run the pack.exe located in the subdirectory "Web Server Component" of your Websydian Express to update the WAR file used by the Servlet Engine.

The packaging tool (pack.exe) will prompt you for automatic deployment on the local Tomcat engine if available and configuration uses this Tomcat instance. If this is not the case you have to deploy the WAR file manually.
