[Note] Note
These instructions apply only to the BASE release which this document is a part of.

This chapter is divided into four parts. First, the process of upgrading a BASE server is described. Followed by set up of job agents. (For these two first parts it is assumed that there is a running server.) Then, the first time installation instructions follows, and the chapter is concluded with information on how to migrate data from a BASE 1.2.17 server to a current BASE server.

The first time installation is only to be performed once, optionally followed by a migration. The migration can only be done to a pristine (empty) BASE version 2 server with one exception; The migration can be restarted if it fails during the RawBioAssaysData transfer. For all other failure points the migration has to be restarted with an empty database. Migration from several BASE version 1 installations to one BASE server is not supported.

The instructions here assume that Apache Tomcat 6 is used on the server side. Other servlet engines may work but we only test with Tomcat.
