9.2.3. Upgrades with an INI File

Use the tpm update command to upgrade to the latest version.

shell> cd /opt/continuent/software
shell> tar zxf tungsten-replicator-7.0.3-141.tar.gz
shell> cd tungsten-replicator-7.0.3-141
shell> ./tools/tpm update --replace-release

Important

The use of --replace-release is not mandatory for minor configuration changes, however it is highly recommended.

Using this option will ensure that underlying metadata and property files are cleanly rebuilt, thus ensuring any new or deprecated properties between releases are correctly added/removed acordingly.

After unpacking the new software into the staging directory, the tpm update command will read the tungsten.ini configuration and install the new software. All services will be stopped and the new services will be started.
