Upgrading the Contextual Image Delivery microservice
To upgrade the Contextual Image Delivery microservice, update its JAR files.
Procedure
- If the server on which this microservice is installed is a Windows machine, uninstall the Windows service by doing the following:
- On the server, open a Powershell command prompt.
- Access the bin\ subfolder of the microservice root folder.
- Run the script called uninstallService.ps1. (If you are running the service on a different default HTTP port than the default, add a
server.portparameter and set it to your custom port number.)
- On the server on which this microservice is installed, navigate to the configuration location of the microservice.
- Back up the contents of this folder to a safe location.
- Back up any custom microservice extensions you have created to a safe location.
- Delete all files and subfolders from the microservice location.
- On your SDL Tridion Docs 14 installation media, navigate to the folder Content Delivery\roles\.
- Navigate to the cid\standalone\ subfolder.
- Copy the contents of the installation media folder, including subfolders, to your installed microservice location.
- If you have previously made changes to the application.properties file that you backed up, compare your backed-up application.properties file to the new one you just copied, and reapply your customizations to the new file.
- Restore the rest of your backed-up configuration files (but not the schemas\ subfolder) to the configuration location of the microservice.
- Restore any backed-up custom microservice extensions to your microservice.
- If the server on which this microservice is installed is a Windows machine, install the Windows service by doing the following:
- On the server, open a Powershell command prompt.
- Access the bin\ subfolder of the microservice root folder.
- Run the script called installService.ps1.
On a non-Windows machine, simply run the start script in the bin/ subdirectory.
