Hi Jason,
Thanks for this clarification. Actually I have a new VM where the new midtier
should be install.
Regards,
Wesley

Occasionally I'll deploy the war without running the installer. I like doing
the initial config via the installer. Especially since we do not install our
apps the the root volume (C:), if I forget to change the path in
config.properties before starting TC we end up with a junk directory in C: for
the reporting location.
Not sure why I use the installer for new installs but rename the old 'midtier'
dir and drop in the new one from the war for upgrades and patches. I have the
same C: directory problem as with an install. It is just a flow I have
developed over time. I think largely it is left over from when I didn't
understand TC very well and the installers automagically deploy the web app so
I didn't have to worry about it. Then for upgrades/patches I just need to drop
the new dir in the right place. If it doesn't go well just shutdown TC, and
put the previously working files back.

I can't see why anyone would use an installer over installing the latest
supported version of Tomcat, ie the latest version of Tomcat 7, and
dropping the Mid Tier war file into Tomcat/webapps (renaming arsys.war).
These are great learning steps if you've not done them before, and about
5 minutes of effort if you have. I'd always deploy the latest (ie most
secure/patched) version of Tomcat, not a packaged version that could be
six months out of date.
