This document is intended for Server Administrators with sufficient technical skills. 

Debian Linux

  1. Make sure that your server meets the requirements listed in the following article: Server requirements.

    1. Specifically, Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 9 Stretch, and Debian 10 Buster are no longer supported as of XTRF 10.

  2. Update the XTRF repository address in your apt configuration. You should get it from our XTRF Self-Service Manager.

  3. Execute the following commands on your server:

    sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xtrf10-full

  4. The script will download the latest XTRF 10.x, perform a database backup (only with default, unmodified configuration), upgrade the necessary files, and restart your new system

  5. The package installs an additional service jboss-xtrf-file-stats.service running on the same java version as the core application. This service is decoupled from the main application for performance reasons.

Debian maintenance procedures

You can restart XTRF manually by issuing the following command:

 systemctl restart jboss-xtrf.service

XTRF is managed as a systemd service, so all the usual administrative commands from systemd apply.

Windows Server

  1. Make sure that your server meets the requirements listed in the following article: Server requirements.

    1. Please note that installing XTRF on the Windows Server has been deprecated. Please review your options for migrating to a different, supported hosting platform.

  2. Download the jboss-xtrf-full-10.x.y.zip file from XTRF Self-Service Manager.

  3. Stop all XTRF services from services.msc.

  4. Database backup is recommended. Please follow the instructions in the link: Database backup.

  5. Rename the C:\jboss-xtrf\ folder to C:\jboss-xtrf_OLD_yyyy-mm-dd.

  6. Extract the downloaded archive to C:\jboss-xtrf\ so you have C:\jboss-xtrf\bin subdirectory. Please make sure that the new JBoss folder is located exactly as the one you had before.

  7. Copy the following file (xtrfDatabaseConfig.xml) from the old JBoss directory (C:\jboss-xtrf_OLD_yyyy-mm-dd\standalone\configuration) to the new, unzipped jboss-xtrf folder (C:\jboss-xtrf\standalone\configuration)

  8. Adjust the local configuration C:\jboss-xtrf\bin\standalone.local.bat if necessary, based on the previous version.

  9. Run (as administrator) the install-windows-service.bat in C:\jboss-xtrf\bin to create and update XTRF services. Starting with 9.3, this step is critical.

  10. Copy all custom applications (*.war) from old standalone/custom-deployments/ to a new JBoss directory.

  11. Start all XTRF services through services.msc. Note that this may include newly created services.
