Our recommended steps for upgrading from an older version of Tomcat or Sun Java includes uninstalling the older version/s (see section to uninstall/reinstall below) first, and then installing the newer versions. NOTE ClientBase Browser agencies: The 3.05 ClientBase update must be coordinated with a CBB update due to some database enhancements. If you install ClientBase 3.05 or higher without updating to CBB you will receive an error message when attempting to log into CBB. If we host your CBB version, please sync@trams.com so we can upgrade your browser copy. Have Correct Version of Apache Tomcat 6.0 and Sun Java Software 6.0?

This section explains the uninstall of ClientBase Browser (any version). It is assumed that this server is solely used for ClientBase Browser. If other versions of Java and/or Tomcat are used by other applications, use these steps at your own discretion. Things to consider prior to uninstalling and older version of Tomcat or Sun Java: If you are already on Tomcat 6.0 and/or Sun Java Development Kit 6.0, you can skip the Uninstall and go back to the section entitled Have Correct Version of Apache Tomcat 6.0 and Sun Java Software 6.0? Here s How to Upgrade to CBB If your SSL Certificate was installed directly into Tomcat, you must backup your certificate prior to the uninstall and restore to the newly installed version. If you have made any custom settings to your Tomcat/Sun Java configuration, these settings will be lost, and need to be reconfigured upon uninstalling/reinstalling. Backup your Tomcat and Sun Java Directory prior to beginning the following steps. 7/23/09 4
