This page contains the procedure of ActivityTimeline Server upgrade. 


Before the upgrade

Check that your license maintenance period is not expired. The new version will require a license renewal if it is expired.

Contact support at activitytimeline.com if you are not sure.


Steps to upgrade:

  1. Download new ActivityTimeline Installation package from Check Updates page (or from a link at your ActivityTimeline Dashboard → Configuration → Check for updates page)
  2. Stop ActivityTimeline application;
  3. Backup <INSTALL_PATH>/activitytimeline/bin/atdb folder and  <INSTALL_PATH>/activitytimeline/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/configuration.properties file
  4. Rename current installation directory to <INSTALL_PATH>/activitytimeline-old-version;
  5. Unpack new version of ActivityTimeline from the downloaded archive into <INSTALL_PATH> folder;
  6. Copy previously backed up atdb folder and configuration.properties file into corresponding folders of upgraded ActivityTimeline application;
  7. Start upgraded ActivityTimeline application (startup folder location should remain the same);
  8. Perform Full Synchronization at AT Configuration → Synchronization → Refresh Issues page if you upgraded from an earlier than v4.0 version of the add-on (screen shot below).


Note 1:  The location of atdb folder is different when running ActivityTimeline as a Windows service. 

It is located in Windows system directory:  <WINDOWS_DIR>\System32\atdb or  <WINDOWS_DIR>\System32\SysWOW64\atdb

Note 2: You would need to re-install ActivityTimeline Windows Service if upgraded from an earlier than v4.0 version of the add-on.
Note 3: Do not install ActivityTimeline into a folder or path that contains spaces.

Important: ActivityTimeline has few infrastructure changes between v7.2.x and v7.3.0:

  1. Dropped support of 32bit servers starting from AT v7.3.0. Contact support if you are running AT on a 32bit server.
  2. New start.sh/stop.sh and start.bat/stop.bat scripts:
    1. Do not use them if upgrading from v7.2 or below and "atdb" folder is not in "<INSTALLED_LOCATION>/activitytimeline/bin/" folder as ActivityTimeline may not be able to load the previous data.
    2. Start ActivityTimeline in the same way as before or move "atdb" folder into "<INSTALLED_LOCATION>/activitytimeline/bin/" folder and then use the new scripts.
  3. Upgraded underlying Tomcat to version 9 and JRE 8 u202
