Copying resources for the Content Service installation in an upgrade scenario

Copy microservice resources to your target machine, or copy the contents of a WAR file to a Web application location.

Procedure

  1. If you intend to run this microservice as a standalone microservice, do the following:
    1. Access your installation media and navigate to the folder Content Delivery\roles\.
    2. Navigate content\ subfolder.
    3. Copy the standalone\ folder, with all its files and subfolders, to your target machine, and rename it to a unique name of your choosing.
  2. Alternatively, if you intend to run this microservice in a Java/JSP Web application (a setup that is deprecated and actively discouraged), do the following:
    1. Request its WAR file, plus a set of configuration files, from SDL Customer Support.
    2. When you receive the WAR file, unpack it to a location on your target machine from which your Java/JSP Web application server can deploy it.
    3. Copy the configuration files you received into the WEB-INF/classes/ folder of the unpacked Web application.
