knowage docker

Question

Hi guys, I have Knowage docker image 6.1.1 already running on my linux server and thought the new knowage release(6.2) has improved quite a bit and its a good idea to update as well. The release we have on github for Docker still reads 6.1.1.

Can I get the latest knowage docker release? and how can I use knowage-Docker with the knowage SDK? I need the SDK to create report dashboards for another system. thanks

I do not have tested the Docker version, but, i think you simply need to replace each Knowage webapps by the new corresponding dowloadable WAR file for 6.2 (including the SDK one)

1. go to the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory (probably /opt/Knowage-Server-CE/webapps)
2. stop the Tomcat server
3. wget each .war file from the download page
4. restart the server

The Tomcat server will then automaticaly deploy and replace all the webapps to the new version.

When done:

• you can remove the newly dowloaded .war files
• you have to update the metadata database with the corresponding update script
• you have to check than the various hibernate.cfg.xml and context.xml files inside the webapps are still u to date with your actual JNDI ressources (from server.xml).
