Upgrading

Check for Configuration Changes

To check for any changes to the configuration file, you can diff the old and new config.toml.example files.

Install the New Files

Don’t overwrite config.toml or service.xml when installing updates. These files contain your configuration settings.

To upgrade an existing FIMMAS Data Services API installation, extract the new archive and copy these files into your installation directory, overwriting existing versions of the files:

  • data-services-api.exe (Windows) or data-services-api (Linux)
  • service.exe (Windows)
  • config.toml.example
  • README.md
  • CHANGELOG.md

You may need to stop the FIMMAS Data Services API service for the copy to complete.

Restart the Service

Once the updated files are in place, the service will need to be restarted. This can be done through the system’s service manager or through service.exe on Windows. To use service.exe, open an administrative command prompt, navigate to your installation directory, and run:

service.exe restart
