Back Up the Current Lighthouse Installation

Before updating, it is important to back up both the directory in which Lighthouse is installed and the database that Lighthouse is using. Waveset recommends that you use third-party backup software or a backup utility supplied with your system to back up the Lighthouse directory. To back up the database, refer to your database documentation for recommended backup procedures.

It is a good idea to back up the data either through database backup tools or through "export -v all.xml all".

To run the above command:

1. Set the JAVA_HOME variable appropriately, e.g.
    set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1_03

2. Set your PATH to include the bin directory of JAVA_HOME, e.g.
    set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

3. Set a WSHOME variable to the lighthouse parent directory, e.g.
    set WSHOME=C:\Tomcat\webapps\lighthouse

4. Change to the WSHOME\bin directory, e.g.
    cd %WSHOME%\bin

5. Invoke the console command line processor, i.e.
    lh console

6. At the "Configurator>" prompt enter the console commands
