Update 7.3.1

[stefaniacolombara]

I have to update a server from 6.1.6 to 7.3.1. From the command I launch:
java -jar servoy_updater.jar -releaseNumber 2022
No update found, if you want beta versions start with option: -beta
Done, Servoy can be started

The update doesn't work!

thanks for your help

I'd like to kick this one up. We would like to update existing application servers on 7.4.1 using the servoy_updater.jar, but it does not work. It cannot find any new versions.
Also, when I try to update it via a copy on my local machine, it won't work. I also had a 7.4.4 version, where the updater DID work correctly and upgraded to 7.4.8.

I tried copying the servoy_updater.jar from a 7.4.8 instance to the 7.4.1 instance, but that does not solve the issue.

So, there is something in the application_server that prevents it from being updated. Can anyone point out what that could be?

stefania we don't support updating major releases like that, you need to do clean install

ruben can you try wit hthe -beta flag or -INTERMEDIATE or with a -releaseNumber (of a version that you want to go to?)

i tested this and yes we have a a problem anything below 7.4.2
because the updater has the wrong urls there (and thats in a class that is not in the servoy_update.zip but just in one of the j2dbxxx.jars)

so the quick solution is to copy a 7.4.2+ install over it

Just an idea: Would it be much more work to do a clean install in every case and then to configure the new Servoy Server exactly as the old one?
(I personally prefer this way.)

What would be needed to get the new Server to the same setting?
1) The server parametrization
2) The plugins folder including a new java signing
3) The reports folder with own Jasper reports, for example
Anything else?
