Upgrading WombatOAM

To upgrade an existing installation of a previous version of WombatOAM:

  1. Extract the WombatOAM package:

    tar xfz wombat-[VERSION].tar.gz
    cd wombat-[VERSION]
  2. If you would like to use a new license key, copy it to the new WombatOAM installation's root directory. (If the version of the old WombatOAM installation is 2.0.0-rc1 or earlier, this is necessary.) If you would like to use the same license key as in the old installation, then skip this step.

    cp .../my.lic_key .
  3. Execute the following command:

    ./wombat upgrade

    You will have to input the previous Wombat installation directory.

  4. The script will perform the upgrade and after running it you can start WombatOAM.

The command ./wombat upgrade will preserve your collected data and custom configuration (in your old _build/default/rel/wombat/files/wombat.config file). It will copy the old license from the old installation. Backups are created to the backups directory from the current installation.
