Update a WildFly / JBoss EAP Installation from 2.1 to 2.2

The following steps describe how to update the CIB seven artifacts on a WildFly/JBoss EAP in a shared process engine scenario. Throughout the procedure, refer to the update guide.

Reading this Guide

This guide uses a number of variables to denote common path names and constants:

  • $WILDFLY_HOME points to the JBoss EAP/WildFly application server main directory.
  • $WILDFLY_DISTRIBUTION represents the downloaded pre-packaged CIB seven distribution for WildFly, e.g. cibseven-bpm-wildfly-$PLATFORM_VERSION.zip or cibseven-bpm-wildfly-$PLATFORM_VERSION.tar.gz.
  • $PLATFORM_VERSION denotes the version of CIB seven you want to install or already have installed, e.g. 2.2.0.

If not already done, download accordingly:

The update procedure takes the following steps:

  1. Update the CIB seven modules.
  2. Update optional CIB seven modules.
  3. Update CIB seven webclient.

Whenever the instructions are to replace a module, delete the previous version of the module first to avoid orphan jars.

1. Update the CIB seven modules
