This chapter explains how to update your existing installation with a service pack.
From the UI
You can install a service pack from a public or internal update site.
Public Site
- Choose Help> Check for Updates. Eclipse will check for updates.
- If updates are reported, select the available updates and click Next.
- Follow the wizard to install the updates.
Internal Site
- Choose Window> Preferences and choose Install/Update> Available Software Sites.
- Enter the location of the update site in the Update Site Location field. If you’re not sure what site to use, contact your Parasoft representative for details.
- If you want to configure Eclipse proxy connections (not related to Parasoft proxy configuration/behavior), set them in the General> Network Connections area of the preferences panel.
Headless
You can install online, offline, and patch headless service pack updates. Headless service pack updates are not applicable to update site installs.
- For offline updates, download the p2 zip archive from http://updates.parasoft.com/ to your installation directory.
Ensure that SOAtest and Virtualize are not running.
- Run the
update.bat
orudpate.sh
script in the installation directory using the following command (see About the Update Script Options):update [--debug] [--help] [--patch <arg>| --updatesite <arg>] [–version]
Start SOAtest or Virtualize using
soatest.exe -clean
orvirtualize.exe -clean
.
