Migrating icCube : 2.5.6 to 2.6
icCube 2.6 is backward compatible with the previous version but see below for new SSL/HTTPS configuration and MDX request result cache (beta) properties as well as for the classpath update.
Installation Reminder
Different versions of icCube can be installed side-by-side on the same machine and no file will be removed during the installation of a new version.
The main two directories mentioned in this page are:
- the installation directory (referred to $install hereafter) : this is where the icCube binaries are installed,
- the application directory (referred to $app hereafter) : this is the place where a running instance of icCube server is storing its data (e.g., users, roles, cubes, etc...). On startup of icCube this directory (if not existing) is created and initialized with the content of the $install directory.
