Applying the hotfix to StreamServe web applications

When you install a hotfix, the web application archive (WAR) files in the StreamServe installation directory are updated. To apply the hotfix to the web applications, you must redeploy the WAR files to the Java application server.

This section describes how to redeploy WAR files in Control Center.

As an alternative to Control Center, you can manually replace the updated template WAR files in the portal root on the Java application server. You must then make sure the files with connection information (added by the management gateway at Control Center redeployment) are available in the unpacked application folders. For example, by manually copying the files from backups of the application folders for the previous installation. For information about template WAR files and files with connection information, see Files and folders.

Prerequisites

•	The Hotfix Setup has been run, resulting in updated template WAR files installed in the StreamServe installation directory.

•	Backups of the unpacked application folders (including all sub-folders) in the portal root are taken. The backups are stored in a place where they cannot be overwritten (that is, not in the portal root).

•	Preparations to preserve any customized configuration files have been performed. See Keeping customized files.

Post requisites

•	If required, restore customized configuration files from the backups.

•	If you use shortcuts to access the web applications and change the web application names, you must update the URLs in the shortcuts.
