Upgrading to a newer version of Tomcat (Linux)
Updated versions of Tomcat are usually included in the monthly updates as part of the upgrader package. Typically, the upgrader does not automatically update Tomcat. Use the following steps to upgrade manually.
1. On your portal server, locate the updated Tomcat distribution file in the directory:
/opt/aptare/upgrade/3rdparty
As user root, execute the following steps.
2. Untar the Tomcat binary distribution into:/opt. For example:
cd /opt
gtar -zxvf /opt/aptare/upgrade/3rdparty/apache-tomcat-8.5.xx.tar.gz
3. Run the switchtomcat.sh shell script to shutdown the portal services, configure the new version of Tomcat, and restart For example:
sh /opt/apache-tomcat-8.5.xx/bin/switchtomcat.sh
4. Verify you can login to the Portal.
