Upgrading Products on Demand

Note:

You can install Mapping and Charting Solutions ServerMaritime Chart Service on a new machine for the first time.

Before starting your upgrade process, you should backup your existing PoD deployment. Doing so simplifies the new deployment by preserving some of your settings. It is critical to backup your existing deployment if you made customization to the web app or PoD configuration files.

Once you have backed up your existing PoD deployment, you can redeploy the new version of PoD. Once complete, you need to merge any previous configuration changes.
