Re: Installing new application

Hi THere,

Hmmm I would say that that is complete overkill. You should only need  
to stop the app under Monitor, replace the app, update the database  
and then start it back up again. My initial guess would be that under  
Java Monitor you have your app set to auto restart. So your steps  
should be something like this.....

- Using monitor, turn off scheduling for the instance(s).

- Using monitor, turn off Auto Restart for the instance(s).

- Using monitor, stop my instance(s) from running.

- Now replace the application and update databases.

And repeat in reverse to turn them all back on.
