Applying updates to custom applications
For customer-written portlet applications that are pre-deployed as standard EARs and then configured within each cluster using XMLAccess, use the same update procedure as used for portlet applications provided with IBM® WebSphere® Portal.
About this task
Procedure
- Use manual synchronization to control how the updates flow to each node in each cluster.
- If configuration updates are necessary, use XMLAccess to make the updates immediately after the application update has been synchronized down to the node, but before the updated portlet is tested.
- Test the updated portlet application against one cluster member, if possible, or against the entire cluster, once fully updated.
- Repeat this procedure for other clusters sharing this application.
