Re: Update procedure for updating ACS to run new version when running from IFS

Paul

The Getting Started document, or one of the others, has info on how to deploy ACS, including a network setup - I believe that the properties file can be local while the rest can be on the network drive. There should be sections on using different properties files for each user. I assume you have already RTFM, so this is just a reminder - lots of options in there.

BTW, I also do for myself what Steve does - I'll use 7-Zip to open the ZIP file, then put everything __except__ the properties file into the directory I use.

Cheers
Vern

Steve,

I thought of that, but could be dangerous.
Also, you would replace the AcsConfig_save.properties file.

I'm thinking of setting up two folder locations, NEW and CUR.
All users would run from CUR.
NEW would be for a small group of users to test the new versions.

Any thoughts from the group.

I just unzip and overwrite the entire folder. Been working for me since beta versions.

Subject: Update procedure for updating ACS to run new version when running from IFS

I just downloaded the new version of ACS, build 8250 June 18, 2018.
My current setup is running ACS from the IFS.
Z:\QIBM\UserData\Access\ACS\acsbundle.jar.

I simply replaced the acsbundle.jar file with new acsbundle.jar file.
Relaunched ACS.
Checked the version, help, about.
Running build 8250 June 18, 2018

Is this a valid and correct update procedure?

Thank You
