This topic explains how to update your existing installation of Parasoft SOAtest with a service pack. 

From the UI

To update Parasoft SOAtest via a service pack:

...

  1. Choose Window> Preferences then select Install/Update> Available Software Sites.
  2. Enter the desired update site in the Update Site Location field. If you’re not sure what site to use, contact your Parasoft representative for details.
  3. If you want to configure Eclipse proxy connections (not related to SOAtest proxy configuration/behavior), set them in the General> Network Connections area of the preferences panel.

Headless

For standalone installations only—not applicable to plugin or update site installs

...

  1. (For "offline" updates) Download the p2 zip archive from http://updates.parasoft.com/ and place it in the SOAtest installation directory.
  2. Ensure that SOAtest is not running.

  3. Run the update .bat or .sh script (in the SOAtest installation directory) using the following command (see Updating SOAtest with a Service Pack About the Update Script Options):

    update [--debug] [--help] [--patch <arg>| --updatesite <arg>] [–version]

  4. Start SOAtest using soatest.exe -clean (or eclipse.exe -clean if you have the plugin version of SOAtest).

About the Update Script Options

OptionDescription
--debug(Optional) Outputs debug logging.
--patch <arg>(For patches, not service packs) updates the current installation with the specified patch .jar file(s) provided as arguments to patch. For example, --patch patch1.jar patch2.jar would update two jar files in the installation. Patch files can be specified by file system path; they can reside outside of the update program directory.
--updatesite <arg>

Determines where service pack updates are accessed (e.g., which p2 update site or zip archive).

To get the latest updates, use: 

--updatesite

To use a specific update site, use: 

-- updatesite <URL> where <URL> is the remote update site.

Example: 

--updatesite http://updates.parasoft.com/xtest/archive/virt/<version>/

To use a local P2 zip archive, use -- updatesite <archive> where <archive> is the P2 archive file with a .zip extension. The file can be specified by file system path.

Example 1: 

--updatesite com.parasoft.xtest.web.sp_updatesite_<version>.zip (the zip file is saved in the same directory as the update program).

Example 2: 

--updatesite C:\mydir\com.parasoft.xtest.web.sp_updatesite_<version>.zip (the zip file is saved in C:\mydir).

 

--version(optional) prints the version number of the current installation.
