Step 3 - Upgrade
The Litium Studio Upgrade Tool upgrades the Litium Studio product platform to the latest version. Therefore, after running the upgrade program you need to upgrade the solution part of the project.
1. Run the upgrade program
When all corrections are made and your solution is compiling, run the “Litium Studio Upgrade Tool.exe” on one of your web servers and follow the instructions on the screen.
2. Make sure there are no errors in the log
At the end of the upgrading process, check the log file for any contingent warnings. If the upgrade tool does not complete, an error will be written to the log file. If this is the case: restore your backup, try to correct the error and run the upgrade tool again.
3. Reconfigure the Web.Config
During upgrade the Web.Config file is overwritten. Any custom changes made must be restored manually from the backup. Open the Web.Config file found in the wwwroot directory of your installation and compare with your back up copy. More information on how to configure the Web.Config file.
Congratulations! Your product has been upgraded. Now it is time to upgrade the solution part of the project.
The upgrade tool only upgrades the product and not the solution. Templates, images, page types or script files (which are stored in the “/UI”, “/App_Code” and “/Site” folder) are part of the solution and will therefore not be updated. Since there is likely breaking changes between product versions, you will also have to ugrade your solution.
