Upgrading To 2_x

An upgrade to 2.0 can simply be done by replacing the rapla.war in your existing installation. You need rapla 1.8 at least for this. If your version is older first upgrade to 1.8. But always keep in mind: Before upgrading, be careful to backup all your conf files/directories.

If you use the xml file rapla will convert the xml file automatically.

If you use a database, all data will be exported to the data.xml and the database will be droped and recreated and the data.xml will be imported again.

If you got problems with the database upgrade try an alternative aproach. This is a repeatable process, so you should always be able to recover.

1. Create a new database in MySql, postgres, etc. ex. RaplaDB18
2. Run Rapla to create the new empty database
3. Run 1.8 raplaexport.cmd to xml datafile. ( check 1.8 config file for output xml filename)
4. Run 2.0 raplaimport.cmd with the exported xml file.( set 2.0 config file for input xml filename as per step 3)
