The 'WAR' method you mentioned is simply a zip file that gets 'deployed' by the tomcat/jsp engine. So, yes...it's easy to upgrade just your Mid-Tier to the latest SP/Patch...download the WAR, unzip it to a folder on your tomcat server that's parallel to the current install, then, check out the config.properties file....I believe that's the one that contains all of the config that happens through the config app, copy that ever to your new version (or, to ensure you don't loose any new settings, hand jam the changes into the new file), then shut down your tomcat, move the new folder into place after moving the current folder out, then start tomcat back up and you should be good to go.... Obviously, do this process in a Dev/Test server first to ensure you have the steps down before doing it in prod, but it should be a quick down/up process with minimal down time.

I’m trying to minimize down time and have had problems with the installer before due to draconian OS restrictions. I’ve heard of using the .war file but I don’t know if that is an approved method, plus I’ve never done anything like that before. Thank you, --- John J.
