This section describes how to update Virtualize. In this section:
Upgrading to a New Version
New versions install in their own version subdirectory. Any specific configurations related to Virtualize usage are handled in the workspace. Run the new installer and update your workspace as necessary.
Updating with a Service Pack
This section describes 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
- Go to 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.
- 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]
The default installation directory for the update script varies by OS:MacOS: In the directory
parasoft/virtualize/<VERSION>/Parasoft Virtualize.app/Contents/Eclipse
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Parasoft\Virtualize\<VERSION>
Linux: In the directory
parasoft/
virtualize/<VERSION>
Start Virtualize using
virtualize.exe -clean
.
