Hello,

I tried to ask this question with my protonmail email earlier on upgrading to 
17.12.01 but I think protonmail is a bit troubled with mailing lists. So, a 
retry with my GMail subscribed to the list.

I'm basically completely new to OFBiz but not new to system administration in
general with more than 20 years of Linux and Unix experience.

My question is what are the upgrade procedures for an OFBiz installation. I
have done a MariaDB database on Debian 10 and configured OFBiz to use that as
the backend.

I can write up a wiki page of the install should that be found useful. I 
basically did the documentation in a text file of the procedures used as I'm 
trying to help a local small business in starting to use the software.

The installation was built using command
./gradlew --parallel-threads=8 cleanAll loadDefault

I configured a systemd service file for the installation as follows:
------
[Unit]
Description=OFBiz Service Daemon
After=network.target auditd.service
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
User=ofbiz
WorkingDirectory=/srv/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz
ExecStart=/srv/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz/gradlew ofbiz
ExecStop=/srv/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz/gradlew 'ofbiz --shutdown'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
------

The installation is running fine I guess which is to say that it does not seem
to complain on any web page I've browsed on it thus far.

However, I did the install while 16.11.07 was the newest version and now there
is the version 17.12.03 available. What are the update/upgrade steps to move
my install from the previous version to the new one?


Best regards,
Jukka Palko
