Once the delivery package has been downloaded, you can begin with the installation. Please follow the order given below (first database and then deployment) when updating. A different order can lead to incorrect system behavior behaviour after the update.
More detailed information on the individual steps can be found in the following sections.
...
- In the subdirectory "\webapps" of the Web Application Server, you can find the deployment installed so far (usually with the name "\gtc").
- Rename this directory (e.g. "\gtc_old") and then move it to a directory outside of the "\webapps" directory. Under no circumstances may the backuped deployment remain in the "\webapps" directory. This would lead to serious errors later on in the update process.

To import the database scripts use a user who has full permissions to the database schema. Otherwise, it may happen that database tables cannot be created or updated correctly or that the GTC cannot access the tables properly at runtime. In any case, check the results in the log files to see if there are any anomalies. If you find any errors, please get in touch with the AMANA Hotline GlobalTaxCenter. |
3) Update deployment
Copy the new deployment into the subdirectory "\webapps", i.e. "<installation directory Tomcat>\webapps\gtc\". It may need to unzip the zip archive.
...
- Start the Web Application Server as usual from the command line or the Service Manager. Autorun jobs may now be executed when the server is started. These are part of the update and must be executed successfully. Do not cancel the server start, even if it takes longer than usual.
- After starting the WAS server, test the access to the GlobalTaxCenter or inform your responsible department to have the access tested if you do not have access data for the GTC yourself.
- Change (or an authorized representative) in the Masterdata area to the Administration dialog dialogue and there to the Log tab and open the file "gtc_autorun.log". Check whether the autorun jobs have run successfully or whether error messages are displayed. In case of an error, please contact the AMANA Hotline GlobalTaxCenter and send the log files "gtc_autorun.log" and "gtc_system.log".
If errors occur in the web application after the update, please also contact the AMANA Hotline GlobalTaxCenter and send the log files.
5) Transfer to other instances
If you are working with different instances (development, test, integration, production, ...) please be careful the that you are doing the same steps in each instance.
