CMDBuild version update

To update CMDBuild to a newer version, follow the steps below.

Before updating​

  • Stop Tomcat
  • Back up all necessary data (e.g. the database)
  • Save any custom configuration files from: <tomcat_installation_folder>/webapps/<webapp_name>/WEB-INF/conf

Update procedure​

  1. Delete the existing CMDBuild webapp directory: <tomcat_installation_folder>/webapps/<webapp_name>
  2. Extract the .war file of the new CMDBuild version into the same directory
  3. Clear your browser cache to ensure all updated resources are loaded correctly

After updating​

On the next application startup, a notification dialog will appear on the login screen confirming that a new version has been installed.

To restore previously saved configurations, stop Tomcat again and copy the saved files back into the configuration folder.
