When an update of the system or the database is required, you will see a notification on the login screen.
After you sign in, you are taken to the database settings. Check if they are still correct.
After you have checked the database settings, the system performs all necessary updates.
The update is done once all required updates have finished.
The current version of Xima® Formcycle can be downloaded directly from our update page. If you should require them, we also provide access to previous versions of Xima® Formcycle.
For each version, you can find three different files:
- formcycle.war
- Contains the master server with the backend and the Xima® Formcycle Designer. For the most common use case, you only need this file.
- frontend-server.war
- Contains the frontend server that only serves and accepts forms.
- frontend-server-inbox.war
- The frontend-server with additional support for accessing the inbox on the frontend server.
For certain version, we also provide plugins you can download.
Step 1: Download the current version
The current version of Xima® Formcycle can be downloaded directly from our update page.
Step 2: Replace the old version
- Delete the old formcycle.war file from the Tomcat webapps directory. The unpacked directory will be deleted automatically.
- Upload or copy the new WAR file to the webapp directory.
Step 3: Database update
When you go to the login page, you may get a notifications that an update was found. If it does, sign in with a system administrator account and proceed as follows:
- After signing in, you will be redirected to the database administration page. Check the database details and click on next.
- All necessary updates for the database and the system are now performed.
- The update is done once all steps are complete.
You should logout and continue your work with a regular user account (and not as a system administrator).
