Upgrading an existing ArcGIS Web Adaptor to 10.2

The ArcGIS 10.2 Web Adaptor (Java Platform) is provided as a setup program and is executed through a utility named Setup.exe. With the 10.2 setup, you can:

• Upgrade an existing machine running the ArcGIS 10.1 or 10.1 SP1 Web Adaptor (Java Platform) to 10.2. You can do this using the setup program or upgrade the Web Adaptor silently from the command line. For full instructions, see the sections below.

OR:

• Install the ArcGIS 10.2 Web Adaptor (Java Platform) on its own. To do this, run Setup.exe and follow the steps in Installing the ArcGIS Web Adaptor.

The Web Adaptor's version must always match the version of its registered portal.

Upgrading an existing Web Adaptor to 10.2

It is not necessary for you to uninstall the Web Adaptor before installing 10.2. The installation process will automatically upgrade your Web Adaptor from 10.1 or 10.1 SP1 to 10.2. You can upgrade an existing Web Adaptor using the setup program or upgrade the Web Adaptor silently from the command line. For details, see the sections below.

Before upgrading, keep in mind that the Web Adaptor cannot be configured with your portal if it is deployed on a website running on ports other than 80 and 443. If your Web Adaptor is not currently running on these ports, you'll need to redeploy the arcgis.war file to your Java application server on a website running on port 80. For instructions on how to deploy a .war file, please refer to the documentation for your Java application server. After you redeploy the Web Adaptor, you can then upgrade it to 10.2.

Upgrading to 10.2 using the setup program

To upgrade an existing Web Adaptor to 10.2 using the setup program, follow these steps:

Steps:

1. Start the Web Adaptor installation program, Setup.exe, and read the welcome screen and terms of use. Click Next when you are ready to proceed.
2. Click Change to specify the installation folder or Next to accept the default location.
3. Click Install to begin the installation.
4. Click Finish to close the wizard.
5. Navigate to the Web Adaptor installation folder. Deploy the arcgis.war file to your Java application server on a website running on port 80. For instructions on how to deploy a .war file, please refer to the documentation for your Java application server.
6. Connect the Web Adaptor with Portal for ArcGIS by completing the steps in Configuring the ArcGIS Web Adaptor.
Note:

After installing, the Web Adaptor will display in the language specified by your Java application server. To change the language, consult the product documentation for your Java application server.

Upgrading to 10.2 silently

To silently upgrade an existing Web Adaptor, use the following command line parameters.

• INSTALLDIR=<installation location>

This property allows you to specify the installation location of the Web Adaptor from the command line. If you do not set this property, the default installation location of C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Web Adaptor10.2\Java\ is used.

For example:

<path to ArcGIS Web Adaptor (Java Platform) setup download>\setup.exe INSTALLDIR="C:\NewInstallDir" /qb

Use the command below to install the Web Adaptor silently without specifying the installation location:

<path to ArcGIS Web Adaptor (Java Platform) setup download>\setup.exe /qb

Once the upgrade is complete, you'll need to Configure the ArcGIS Web Adaptor for use with Portal for ArcGIS.

Note:

After installing, the Web Adaptor will display in the language specified by your Java application server. To change the language, consult the product documentation for your Java application server.
