Upgrading existing installation

If you are upgrading an existing installation, then please follow the below installation steps.

  • Take a backup of the customizations applied to the existing VitaraCharts installation. Basically, there are two files where you can customize Vitara charts. The global.txt file and customStyles.css file. The global.txt file can be used to define custom color palettes, custom fonts, etc. And the customStyles.css file can be used to add your own individual styles to the charts. So, take a backup of these two files before starting the deployment process. The location of these files would be as shown below: /webapps/MicroStrategy/plugins/VitaraCharts/custom/global.txt /webapps/MicroStrategy/plugins/VitaraCharts/custom/customStyles.css Note: The plugins directory should contain only one folder with the name VitaraCharts. So, please ​do not​ keep any backup copies of the VitaraCharts folder in the plugins directory.
