Details of what is copied/moved when running the Spotfire Server Upgrade Tool is described here - to know what may be needed to move manually when doing an upgrade it is beneficial to know what exactly is copied/upgraded/moved by the Upgrade Tool.

The following is copied and does not have to manually attended to:

• All log files in tomcat\logs folder
• Trust stores and key stores in tomcat\cert folder
• The directory for storing a custom login page from tomcat\webapps\spotfire\resources\custom-login folder
• The krb5.conf file from tomcat\custom-ext folder

If the new version will be installed on a new server and thus does not have the previous installation folder some files will be needed to move manually, such as any custom jar files, https, cobranding files. All files that are not included in the pointed list above needs manual attention in the case of new installation-upgrade.

An example from and upgrade.log below shows what the Upgrade Tool does.
