So, DO NOT rerun the GUI installer?
How would one rebuild and redeploy? Those were handled automatically by the GUI
installer, I believe.
The GUI installer has some limitations - as reported by the Getting
Started guide - among which there is the inability to handle upgrades
(maybe someone can step up and improve it like so, but not at the moment).
Fortunately, the GUI installer acts as wrapper for the Maven project [1]
generation, build and deploy; hence, you have two options, to me:
1. find out, from the GUI installer's logs, where are the sources of the
Maven project generated by it, and which Maven command was run to build;
about deployment, it's simply copying the WAR files built into the
Tomcat's webapps directory
2. if the GUI installer logs or directories are not available any more,
start a new Maven project, configure it for your environment and build
it, then deploy it; you can find how to generate in [1], and how to
build and customize it to your needs starting from [2] (DBMS) and [3]
(deployment directories and build command); please note that, when you
provide the same database configuration currently in use, the new
deployment won't overwrite anything, just use the existing data
Also, do I need to download anything before upgrading or is that handled by the
maven build?
Maven will take care of that, of course.
Regards.
