Use this information to administer the Azure Connector.

Upgrade

Use this information to upgrade the Azure Connector from a previous version for Tomcat-based deployments only.

1. Stop the Content Services server.

2. Navigate to the root directory of your installation.

3. Use the following command to check for the module you wish to delete:

    java -jar bin/alfresco-mmt.jar list tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war
   

   This displays a list of the installed modules. Make a note of the module ID of the module you wish to uninstall, for example, org_alfresco_integrations_AzureConnector.

4. Use the Module Management Tool (MMT) to uninstall the AMP from the repository WAR (alfresco.war). For example:

    java -jar bin/alfresco-mmt.jar uninstall  org_alfresco_integrations_AzureConnector tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war
   

   For more information, see Using the Module Management Tool (MMT) and Uninstall an AMP file.

5. Navigate to the amps directory.

6. Delete any previously installed Azure Connector AMP.

7. Copy the AMP file you downloaded during installation to the amps directory.

8. Use the Module Management Tool (MMT) to install the AMP into the repository WAR (alfresco.war).

   For more information, see Using the Module Management Tool (MMT)and Install Alfresco Module Package.

   Note: You must install the Azure Connector AMP using -force.

9. Check that the configuration is set up correctly for your environment.

   Note: When upgrading from Azure Connector version 1.0, make sure you define the Azure authentication mode and a supported value in your alfresco-global.properties file.

   Note: To upgrade a system that’s never used the file system (i.e. on-premises installation without locally saved binaries), we recommend that you choose a pure Azure content store. See Azure Connector content store subsystems for more details.

10. Starting from version 1.2, the Azure Connector has the deleted content store disabled by default, since this feature is already present in Microsoft’s Azure Storage services. For details on how to re-enable it, see Azure Connector deleted content store.

11. Start the server.

ReactiveX framework that AzureSDK is based on is not working with Security Manager enabled in Tomcat
