update war file using Patch, is it possible ?

[udayk]

Hi Guys,

Updating war file or adding new war file using patch in AI-7.2.1

Is it possible ?

I have new requirements like above question, using AI-7.2.1 patch, using this scenario

1. New environment variable is added in system environments after patch installation successfully.
2. SQL Scripts executed successfully using patch installation .
3. Desktop icon, that is application shortcut launch url is also changed using patch installation successfully.

One required change is not perfectly done.

4. adding new WAR to tomcat\webapps is not executed successfully.

above 1,2,3 requirements are executed successfully, but 4th requirement is not executed, at least not shows an exception while building patch or in installation patch log.

How should i resolve this issue, can any one please tell me.......

Thank you,
Udayk.

Hello Uday,

You are getting this behavior because you broke one or several of the patch rules.

After having a diff between your target and upgraded .AIP files, it seems you changed the order of the .WAR file in the folder. Its GUID is also changed from one version to the next.

Advanced Installer strives to respect all the rules, but due to the involved complexity, success is not always guaranteed. Because of this it is recommended to use patches only for minor updates, that do not change the Product Code and to test the patch throughly in various installation scenarios.

A complete list of patch rules can be found here in Creating Patches article.

All the best,
Mihai

Hi Mihai,

Again it shows an exception like this..

Running MSI patch compatibility tests...
Warning: Sequence changed. Sequence of file "PremierAnalytics.war" changed in upgraded "E:\Adv-Instller-Delivary-(30-08-2011)\Instraller\Delivered-AIP\Updated\Updated-30-04-2012-17-39\GCS Premier Analytics.msi".

Analyzing the MSI files found that the resulting patch might not apply correctly. The target or upgraded MSI broke some of the patch rules. For more details, please see the Patch help page.
done.

If i delete the PremierAnalytics.war file in upgraded version.

Patch build successfully without any errors, but unable to add new file to the existing application scope.

How should i find out the exact sequence of the PremierAnalytics.war file ??

Can you please tell me.

Thank you,
Udayk.
