Validating your upgrade

You can validate your upgrade to make sure that your new WorldServer instance works as expected.

Procedure

  1. Make sure that the WS_HOME environment variable points to your WorldServer installation.
    For a Tomcat installation:

    Make sure your TOMCAT_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables are set as well.

    • For Windows:
      set WS_HOME=<TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\ws-legacy
      set CATALINA_HOME=<TOMCAT_HOME>
    • For Linux:
      export WS_HOME=<TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/ws-legacy
      export WS_CATALINA=<TOMCAT_HOME>
  2. If applicable, set execute permissions on the wsupgrade scripts.
    > cd <upgrade directory>
    > chmod 777 testschema.sh
    They do not apply to WorldServer 10.2.
  3. Use the testschema script to validate the new version of WorldServer with the upgraded database. At a minimum, you may want to run the following script for this release, which redirects the output to a log file so you can check to see that the schema test succeeded.
    For Windows:
    upgrade\1110\testschema.bat > testschema.log
    For Linux:
    upgrade/1110/testschema.sh > testschema.log
    The testschema script verifies all the steps of the incremental upgrade process and that the entire schema complies with the latest version of WorldServer.

What to do next

Once you have validated your upgrade, you have to start WorldServer, verify that the program works as expected, and notify your users that WorldServer is online again.
