Upgrade tasks

Upgrade to a new version of Application Security by performing the tasks described in the following table in the order listed.

Task	Description
1	Stop Tomcat server.
2	Delete the WAR file from the `<tomcat>/webapps/` directory, and then copy the new WAR file to the `<tomcat>/webapps/` directory (see Updating and deploying the WAR file). <tomcat> represents the root directory of the Tomcat instance.
3	Start Tomcat server.
4	Open a browser and enter your Application Security web address to start the Setup wizard.
5	Use the Setup wizard to generate the migration SQL script (see Configuring Application Security after an upgrade).
6	Run the migration script on your database (see Preparing to run the database upgrade script). Databases that contain over 1 TB of data might take five or more hours to migrate. (SQL Server databases only) After you migrate Application Security to a new SQL Server database version and back up and restore the database, you must change the compatibility level (from SQL Server Management Studio) to reflect the SQL engine version that currently hosts the Application Security database.
7	Use the Setup wizard to reseed the database.
8	Restart Tomcat server.
9	Bug tracker plugins are not included in the `ssc.war` file. After you upgrade and start Application Security, remove old bug tracker plugins, and then install new plugins from the current installation package. For more information, see About Bug Tracker integration.
