Review the product readme for information about enhancements and changes for Forms Server.

Important Refer to the Perceptive Content Technical Specifications guide for system requirements.

Important When you perform an upgrade from an older version to a newer version number, Enterprise Software recommends testing forms in a test environment before implementing in a production environment. Version 6.5 and above includes enhanced features that make this testing step mandatory if you created worksheets or forms on any previous versions. If an error occurs on the form, contact Product Support.

To upgrade an existing version of Forms Server to the latest version, complete the following steps.

  1. Stop Tomcat.
  2. Back up the entire [path]/${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/imagenowforms folder. You do not need to back up [path]/${TOMCAT_HOME}/work/Catalina/localhost/imagenowforms.
  3. Delete the [path]/${TOMCAT_HOME}/work/Catalina/localhost/imagenowforms directory.
  4. If you used the Windows installer to install Forms Server, uninstall it.
  5. Download the WAR file.
  6. Place the psw-content-forms-server.war file into [path]/${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/
  7. Start Tomcat to extract the WAR file.
  8. Optional. When upgrading, to ensure legacy URLs persist, rename the psw-content-forms-server directory to imagenowforms.
  9. Compare the WEB-INF/imagenowforms.settings file in your backup to the new WEBINF/imagenowforms.settings file and copy the settings from the older file to the new one, if necessary.
  10. Under the Application server settings section, in the integration-server-path setting, enter the full path to Integration Server.
  11. If you updated Forms Server from version 6.4.x to 7.2.x, you must move the imagenowforms.xml file from your backup to the ${IMAGENOWDIR6}/etc directory.
  12. Restart Tomcat.
  13. After verifying that Forms Server is deployed, you can safely remove the backup directory as needed.
    Note: For more information about extracting the WAR file in Tomcat, or information regarding communication between Forms Server and Integration Server, refer to the Forms Server Installation and Setup Guide Foundations EP1.
