IDERA Dashboard works with Tomcat 7.0, but Apache Tomcat periodically releases security and bug patches. To manually update Tomcat 7.0 perform the steps below:
- Open Windows Services Manager and stop Idera Dashboard Web Application Service.
- Go to the official Apache Tomcat 7 downloads website (https://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi), download and extract the zip files for Core and Embedded located under Binary Distributions.
- Extract the Jar libraries of the lib folder from the Core zip folder.
- Replace the Jar libraries of IDERA Dashboard lib folder installed (i.e. "C:\Program Files\Idera\Dashboard\WebApplication\lib").
- As in the previous steps, extract Jar libraries of the extracted embedded zip folder.
- Replace the Jar libraries from the IDERA Dashboard lib folder installed (i.e. "C:\Program Files\Idera\Dashboard\WebApplication\lib").
- Open Windows Services Manager and start Idera Dashboard Web Application Service.
Steps to validate IDERA Dashboard Tomcat version:
- Open Windows Command Prompt.
- Enter to the IDERA Dashboard Web Application Lib folder (e.g. "cd C:\Program Files\Idera\Dashbaord\WebApplication\lib")
- Type the following command:
java -cp catalina.jar org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo
To execute this command, you need to have Java installed and the JAVA HOME path set on the system. Refer here to find more information.
The output should be as shown below:
The Server Number indicates the Tomcat version IDERA Dashboard is currently using. Use the steps above to verify if the Tomcat version needs updating.
