About the Installable Version
The installable version of the platform lets you create and manage a private cloud behind your corporate firewall. It can also be used to set up a public cloud that serves multiple clients--generally with a shared application and global data. This page highlights changes to the installation process, along with features of the new release.

Installation Notes
For either a First-Time Installation or platform upgrade, ensure that dependent utilities are at the minimum levels specified in the Software Requirements.
Special Upgrade Instructions
This version of the platform installs Tomcat 7.0.47, so:
- Before upgrading, back up any custom entries added to tomcat/webapps/networking/WEB-INF/web.xml,
because that file will be overwritten during the upgrade process. - After the upgrade, add back your custom entries.
Important:
The format of servlet entries that include several URL patterns has changed in Tomcat 7.0.47. With the new format, all of the url patterns are included in single servlet-mapping as shown here:
- Old:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<servlet> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.abc.MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-class> </servlet>
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/a</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/b</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </syntaxhighlight>
- New:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/a</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/b</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </syntaxhighlight>
