How to Update an Existing Deployment of Web Services

As a web services administrator, you can update an existing deployment of the Web Services component. For example, when you apply Web Services maintenance to the installed Endevor directories you must also deploy the maintenance to the Web Services directories in the Tomcat instance.

To update an existing deployment of the Web Services component, do the following:

1. Back up your configuration files— All customized files should be backed up before proceeding with this job. That would be any cfg files in your endevor directory or any other files you have placed in the Endevor directory tree.
2. Edit the WSTOMCCS member as described in the member to update the Web Services files by setting the following values in WSTOMCCS:
   • Set the value for TOMCAT to NO.
   • Set the value for Axis2 to NO.
   • Set the value of ENWS to UPDATE.

   When updating an existing deployment, the script removes the Web Services directory trees from the Tomcat/Axis2 instance. Then adds the new directory trees to the target Tomcat/Axis2 instance.

3. Shutdown the Tomcat server, run the WSTOMCCS job.
4. Copy the saved configuration files into the refreshed directory tree.
5. Restart the Tomcat server.
