Upgrade with a ZIP distribution

Follow this instruction to upgrade your existing Upsource installation (ZIP or Docker) to a newer one using a ZIP distribution. Upgrade procedures vary significantly depending on the version increment (i.e. 3.5 to 2017.1 vs 2017.1.0 to 2017.1.5) as outlined below.

If you are upgrading to version 2017.1, please Create a backup while your existing Upsource installation is running. You can omit this step for patch updates (i.e. 2017.1.0 to 2017.1.5), but only if your existing installation is a ZIP.
If your current Upsource installation is set up to work with a stand-alone (external) Hub, please upgrade Hub to the latest version before you proceed any further.
Stop Upsource: <upsource_home>\bin\upsource.bat stop
Use your operating system's tools to make sure that all Java processes launched by Upsource are no longer running. (On Windows, you can use Process Explorer.)
- If there are no Upsource-related Java processes outstanding, proceed to step 4.
- If there are Upsource-related Java processes still running:
  - (Optional, Windows only) Please consider taking thread dumps from those processes using the jstack tool (on Windows, it's available under <upsource_home>/internal/java/windows-amd64/bin) and provide the thread dumps to JetBrains for investigation.
  - Kill the outstanding process trees.
If your <upsource_home> directory name is not build-specific, rename <upsource_home> to Upsource.old (you can use another name).
Download and unpack the zip archive with a new Upsource build.
The unzipped installation should not be placed inside an old <upsource_home> directory that contains old files.
Start Upsource (new instance): <upsource_home>\bin\upsource.bat start

It will open Configuration Wizard in your default browser:

The URL at which Upsource front-end is started is written to the console and can also be found in <upsource_home>\logs\upsource-stdout.log
Click Upgrade.
In this step, select the location of your previous installation or backup to upgrade from:

Specify the location of a backup (you should have it, see Step 1) if you are:
- Upgrading any older ZIP installation to version 2017.1.
- Upgrading any Docker installation to any newer version, including patch-upgrades (i.e. 2017.1.1 to 2017.1.2).
The location of a backup is a date-specific directory inside the backups folder.

Specify the location (the home directory) of your previous installation only if you are patch-upgrading a 2017.1 ZIP installation (i.e. 2017.1.1 to 2017.1.2).
Click Next.
Now you can verify and change (if necessary) your system settings and location of system directories:
Click Upgrade when you're done.

Wait a little for Upsource to launch its components:

As soon as it's done, it will open its welcome page.
