This page provides instructions for upgrading a FlexDeploy installation. These instructions upgrade Tomcat to the version included in the distribution zip depending on current version of FlexDeploy.
...
Make sure that you have downloaded the latest version of FlexDeploy and unzip it into a temporary location (for example, /u01/software), so it can be accessed during the upgrade process. You can get download links from http://support.flexagon.com. Do not unzip the FlexDeploy distribution directly into the FLEXDEPLOY_HOME directory so we can prevent unwanted file(s) or folder(s) from being overwritten.

See the following example. Make sure to backup apache-tomcat-flexdeploy folder as that is going to be replaced during next steps.

cd <artifact repository location>/ tar -cvzf ../artifacts.tar.gz * # The plugins folder may not exist yet depending which version of FlexDeploy you are upgrading from cd <server application directory> cd plugins tar -cvzf ../plugins.tar.gz * # apache-tomcat-flexdeploy (if apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-old exists then use some other folder name) cd $FLEXDEPLOY_HOME mv apache-tomcat-flexdeploy apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-old |

Step 5. Apply new version
You must have performed backup of apache-tomcat-flexdeploy folder by now as described in Step 3. If you have not done that, please go back to Step 3 for details.
Note on additional extension jar files : If you had placed additional libraries in apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/lib folder or in the apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/libext folder, then you will need to copy them from backup folder into the new apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/libext folder. Note that all extension jars should be kept in libext folder. Examples might be JDBC driver (for Oracle drivers there is additional detail in the following step), CyberArk libraries etc.
...
Change the following locations: You must put absolute path as no environment variables are allowed in this file.
bolt-path: from <FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>/influxdb/data/influxd.bolt to <FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>/application/vsm/data/influxd.bolt
engine-path: from <FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>/influxdb/data/engine to <FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>/application/vsm/data/engine
sqlite-path: <FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>/influxdb/data/influxd.sqlite to <FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>/application/vsm/data/influxd.sqlit
