1. Please read and understand the Migration Considerations which may require your action before beginning.
2. Backup the forms database from your current installation.
3. Backup the current  server's installation directory so that you have a copy of all custom configuration parameters.

4. Stop the  server using <frevvo-home>\stop-frevvo.[bat,sh]. If you are upgrading from v7.x, you will also need to stop the Insight Server (SOLR) by closing the window or if you are using the tomcat bundle by typing these commands in the <frevvo-home>\solr-5.4.1 directory of your existing installation.
   bin\solr.cmd stop -all
   
   Stop Live Forms and the Insight Server through the Computer Management Services console if they are running as Window's services.

   Warning

   If you are using SQL Server as your Live Forms database, it is highly recommended that you turn on the READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT setting in the database BEFORE performing the upgrade to v7.1. You do not have to do this if you are using MySQL or Oracle databases because this option is turned on by default. There are two ways to turn on the option: Using DDL ( Data Definition Language) - Run the commands listed below Code Block ALTER DATABASE <your frevvo database schema> - replace <your frevvo database schema> with the name of your frevvo database schema SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON Using SQL Server Management Studio: Turn on the “Is Read Committed Snapshot On” Option under database properties.

5. Install a fresh v7.2.x  server:
   1. Download the latest v7.2.x software.
   2. Request a v7 license if you are upgrading from a version prior to v7.0.x.
   3. The download is a zip file. Extract the contents to any folder of your choice. This folder will be referred to as <frevvo-home> (note that the zip already contains a top level frevvo folder).

   4. Navigate to <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\server.xml in the v7.2.x directory structure.

      Warning
      Database configuration is done in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\server.xml file. The database resource name was changed to jdbc/sharedfrevvoDS in v7.0. When you configure your database, make the changes to the v7.2.x server.xml. Do not copy configured sections from a frevvo.xml of a previous release into the v7.2.x server.xml file.

   5. Configure the Database
      1. Select your database type
      2. Refer to the Configure the Connection URL topic to point the v7.2.x frevvo database to your current frevvo database.Save the changes to the server.xml file.
   6.   If you made changes to the Default Port in previous releases, make those changes again in the v7.2 server.xml file.
   7. Save the changes to the server.xml file.
      
      

6. Install a JDBC Driver.

7. Navigate to <frevvo-home>/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/frevvo.xml in the v7.2 directory structure

   1. Perform the Email Configuration
   2. Configure the Proxy Server if applicable

   3. LDAP Configuration, if applicable

   4. Compare the frevvo.users.schemaName property in the frevvo.xml file from the version of you are upgrading from to the frevvo.xml file in v7.2 installation directory. If they are not the same, copy the frevvo.users.schemaName property from <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml to the v7<frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml. 

   5. Refer to Installation Tasks for more information about additional configuration parameters that can be added to the frevvo.xml file to take advantage of features.

      1. We recommend that any changes that were made to the web.xml file in previous releases be moved to frevvo.xml instead.
   6. Save the changes to frevvo.xml.

8. Follow the steps for your Operating system to start the Insight server BEFORE starting .
   

   Info
   All database initialization and/or upgrade will be automatically done by frevvo.war as part of the v7.2.x startup. During the upgrade the Insight server batch job will automatically run preparing your submission data for the Reports feature and the new submissions view.

    Windows:

   1. Open a command prompt. Navigate to <frevvo-home>\solr-5.4.1.Type bin\solr.cmd start to run the Insight server in the background, listening on the default port 8983.
      
      
      
      You will see this message:
      
      
      
      

      Warning
      If you close the Insight server (Solr) startup window, the server will stop running. Leave the window open or go to Step 10 for instructions to remove existing services and set up Live Forms and the Insight Server to run as Windows services.

   2. Browse http://<your server:port>/ solr to verify the Insight server is running. The <server:port> default values are localhost:8983. Change localhost to the server name and 8983 to the port the Insight server is running on if they are different than the defaults. Do not include the angle brackets <>. You will see the Insight server (Solr) dashboard with the current status:

   
   
   Linux:

   1. Ensure that the scripts are executable: chmod 755 <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/*.sh
   2. Navigate to <frevvo-home>/solr-5.4.1/bin. Run this command to make the solr startup file executable:
      chmod +x solr
   3. Navigate back to the solr-5.4.1 directory.
      cd ..    
      Start the Insight server by typing: bin/solr start - this starts the Insight server in the background.
   4. Browse http;<your server:port>/solr to verify the Insight server is running. The <server:port> default values are localhost:8983. Change localhost to the server name and 8983 to the port the Insight server is running on if they are different than the defaults. Do not include the angle brackets <>.
