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.

1. 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.

2. 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:

<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>

New:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/a</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>/b</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

New Licensing Mechanism

Beta installers did the installation first and then requested a license. In this production-ready release, a license is obtained first. Supplying it is part of the installation process.

Additional MIME Types can be added to the Apache Web Server configuration, so that documents and Static Resources are processed properly, when delivered to the end user's browser.
