Upgrade: tomcat8w.exe //ES//example - dump Java Options and other
information to tomcat9
Hi
I am about to upgrade a lot of Tomcat 8.0 instances to 9.0 on Windows.
The way I am doing it is by:
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\ jdk-11
SET CATALINA_BASE=C:\inst\example
SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat-8.0
C:\tomcat-8.0\bin\service remove example
SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat-9.0
C:\tomcat-9.0\bin\service install example
But in this process I loose some parameters like "Log on", "Initial memory pool" and "Java options" which has been set with
tomcat8w.exe //ES//example
or
tomcat8w.exe //US//example
Is there a way where I can get the say "Java options" parameters with a command line tool so I don't have to start the GUI for every instans?
Or is there a better way to upgrade from 8.0 to 9.0?
Any hint much appreciated.
Best regards
Hans Schou

Done.
It outputs the command to (re-)create the current config to stderr (in a
similar manner to version and usage). Users are free to pipe that to a
file or whatever else they want to do with it.

I was in a hurry and have made a PowerShell script (it is only relevant for Windows) which can do the dump.
I call it: tomcats.ps1
https://github.com/hanschou/tomcatPS
(I'll add more descriptions later)
Maybe it can be used as inspiration for:
Tomcat9.exe //PS//foo
My job was to do major upgrade say from 8.0 to 9.0 for 120 Tomcat instances. The script helped to have minimum down time so we could do it within work hours.

I agree that this would be useful. Once it exists in procrun, perhaps the
installer could be extended to take advantage of it.

I just thought I would also mention that this problem (needing to reproduce
a service configuration) doesn't arise when using my alternative installer
to upgrade a Tomcat instance: An upgrade installs on top of, and replaces,
an older version in-place without modifying the service configuration
details.

Right, this is what Tomcat's service installer allows (not the actual
installer, but service.bat for example).
The problem is that if you don't have your old command-line saved and
handy, you have to figure out how to re-generate it. Thus, the
feature-request for procrun to dump the current configuration to a
script which can re-create itself.
I'm just suggesting that if your installer can dump that kind of thing
out it might also be handy.

Sorry; I don't understand the question. The alternate installer doesn't set
or use the CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE environment variables; it uses
procrun (tomcat.exe) with a very long command line to install Tomcat as a
service.

Sorry for the top posting, outlook and all that.
I like what you are showing here, but are you implying a shared CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE? I find this to be the least desirable configuration, in my opinion.

The alternative installer doesn't export a configuration, but it does let you repeat an installation using command-line options to get a similar effect; e.g.:
apache-tomcat-a.b.c-setup.exe /type=core /serviceusername="domain\account"
/jvmoptions="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT" /jvmms=2048
/jvmmx=2048 /silent /log="c:\windows\temp\tomcatinstall.log"
(all on one line of course)
For reference:
/type="core" - installs only the core components (no docs, Manager, Host Manager, or examples web apps)
/serviceusername="domain\account" - runs the service using the specified account (and also, by default permissions are set on the install directories to allow this account to write to the logs, temp, and work
directories)
/jvmoptions="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT" - tells the Java instance running Tomcat to trust the Windows certificate store
/jvmms=2048 /jvmmx=2048 - sets the Java memory pool sizes for the service
/silent - hands-free installation
/log="c:\windows\temp\tomcatinstall.log" - logs to the specified file
See the documentation - https://github.com/Bill-Stewart/ApacheTomcatSetup - for further information.

Oh, I wasn't expecting to be able to upgrade the official Tomcat
installer's services. But this is good information for anyone to have.

Definitely. I remember having to upgrade these for my client once and
it was a PITA. We really only do it each time we upgrade Tomcat to a
new major version (when we went from 8.0 -> 8.5). It was a pain
because of all the copy/pasting which would definitely be solved
either with your installer or with a new "dump config to script"
feature on Tomcat's installer.
I don't know if you are interested in such things, but being table to
export a configuration from one machine to another might be useful for
your installer, too. Something like "deploy to server A,
manually-configure, tweak, test, prove" and then "copy deployment
configuration to servers B - Z".

The alternative installer can only upgrade Tomcat instances it installs.
(It can't upgrade instances installed using Apache's installer or manual
installations; it doesn't know about those.)
The process in your case would be something like this:
1. Document the Tomcat service installation details for the instance you
want to replace and back up its config files.
2. Remove it (reverse whatever process you used to install, whether Apache
installer, manual, etc.).
3. Install using alternate installer; e.g.:
apache-tomcat-a.b.c-setup.exe /instance="FOO"
4. Update the config files, copy application server files, etc.
See the documentation - https://github.com/Bill-Stewart/ApacheTomcatSetup -
for details. (Without /instance it installs a default instance - i.e.,
default directory of "\Program Files\Apache Tomcat", "Apache Tomcat" as the
service name, etc.)
To upgrade (in general):
1. Touch (update timestamps of) config files you don't want the installer
to overwrite.
2. Run the above install commands with the new version of the installer.
Don't forget the /instance parameter if you used it to install initially
(otherwise, the installer will install or upgrade the default instance).
Note that each instance installed using the alternate installer (default or
otherwise) installs to a separate directory and appears as a separate entry
in the Windows "installed application" list. (This is typically the
expected behavior for application installations on Windows machines.)
I certainly don't claim that the alternative installer is suitable for all
applications and configurations, but for fairly common use cases on Windows
machines, the two-step upgrade process noted above (I think) is pretty
simple.

This obviously works, but requires that you have set things up this
way in advance. The discussion here was about upgrading your
Tomcat-based service if you had only used the standard installer in
the past without any "tricks" like you show, here.
For those interested, I'm presenting "Split your Tomcat Installation
for Easier Upgrades" at this year's ApacheCon @Home conference.
Registration/attendance is 100% free free for all. You can find the
Tomcat track schedule here:
https://www.apachecon.com/acah2020/tracks/tomcat.html
And there are a whole bunch of other tracks for those interested in
other Apache-related topics.
I could mention this kind of technique as well as the new tomcatXw.exe
feature of being able to dump the configuration to a
service-re-creation script as a part of this work. (Since it doesn't
really take 30 minutes to explain the difference between CATALINA_HOME
and CATALINA_BASE). :)
I was already expecting to talk about Windows Service installation,
anyway.

I have a directory called C:\Java
Here we have
<DIR> jdk1.8.0_25
<SYMLINKD> jdk1.8 [jdk1.8.0_25]
And JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk1.8
And upgrade is then performed with:
Unzip jdk1.8.0_211.zip
Rmdir jdk1.8
Mklink /D jdk1.8 jdk1.8.0_211
And then all tomcat instances has to be restartet.
A Tomcat minor upgrade is done in a similar way.
We have a symlink like C:\Apache\tomcat-9.0 which point to C:\Apache\apache-tomcat-9.0.36 and we unzip a new version and change the symlink.

Does this support multiple side-by-side Tomcat-based services?
I have a client who runs our product on Windows (we usually run it on
Linux) and there are 2-4 separate Tomcat-based services on each node,
so they have "Tomcat 8.5.x for FOO", "Tomcat 8.5.x for BAR", etc. in
their service descriptions. Can they use your installer to upgrade
just one of those with a new Tomcat version?

What do you mean? 1. Point an existing Tomcat instance to a different Java
runtime, or 2. Upgrade an existing instance of Java?
For 1:
Use the procrun GUI and change the path to the jvm.dll file. Naturally you
would need to restart Tomcat instance.
For 2:
My alternative installer is for upgrading Tomcat, not the Java instance. To
do that, you would need to:
a. Stop the Tomcat instance
b. Upgrade/install the Java you want
c. (If path to jvm.dll changed) Use the procrun GUI to change the path to
the jvm.dll file
d. Start the Tomcat instance

I like this idea as an enhancement to procrun.
I would also point out, for anyone interested, that my alternate installer
supports upgrading without needing to document the settings: It
automatically stops the service, updates the files, and restarts the
service (preserving all configuration details).

You should be able to set the Java Options with service.bat. There is an
Environment variable called JvmArgs [1] which is appended to JvmOptions and
allows you to add different Java Options, e.g. set it like so before
calling `service.bat install`:
set "JvmArgs=-Dsome.property=SomeValue;-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError"
For the heap size set the JvmMs and JvmMx environment variables.

Yes, that would be great.
And with JAVA_HOME also.
Right now I have solved my upgrade task with a script which can only upgrade from Tomcat 8.5 to 9.0
As I can not see from command line which tomcat are being used, I had to look that up first.
Then I also have to check if the instance is running Java 8 or Java 11.
I run tomcat8w.exe to get and set Java options and memory usage.
Here is the script:
IF [%1] == [] (
ECHO Error
EXIT /B
)
SET INSTANCE=%1
SET JAVA_HOME=D:\Java\jdk1.8
rem SET JAVA_HOME=D:\Java\jdk11
SET CATALINA_HOME=D:\Apache\tomcat-8.5
SET CATALINA_BASE=D:\tomcat\%INSTANCE%
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat8w.exe //ES//%INSTANCE%
PAUSE
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %CATALINA_BASE%\conf\server.xml
PAUSE
NET STOP %INSTANCE%
CALL %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\service remove %INSTANCE%
SET CATALINA_HOME=D:\Apache\tomcat-9.0
CALL %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\service install %INSTANCE%

This displays the GUI configuration dialog. From there you can manually
document your settings.

Yes I can add and change information, but how can I get the information out so I can use that for an upgrade to a new major version?
To change I run
tomcat8.exe //US//svcname --JvmOptions "-D...."
I miss a extract command like
tomcat8.exe //XS//svcname
which will give me the --JvmOptions and others so I can use them from a command line and upgrade to Tomcat9.

Correct. See the InstallService PascalScript procedure in the installer
which performs the equivalent:

Note that everything you can configure using tomcatXw.exe //ES/svcname
you can also install from the command-line. So if you need to create a
service from scratch, you just need to make sure you provide all those
values each time you create a new service.
If you find yourself needing to make changes to the system properties,
for example, then instead of editing them directly using //ES/svcname,
you could also put that into a script and re-run the script.
You get (a) documentation of what's necessary and also (b)
reproducibility of creating that service, instead of having to
remember that something specific was in there.
For example, if you need to set -Duser.locale=fr_FR for your service,
then do:
REM
REM Script to install Apache Tomcat service for Foo Tech Ltd.
REM
SET SERVICE_NAME=MyGreatWebapp
SET SERVICE_DESC=My Great Web App
SET HEAP_MIN=1024
SET HEAP_MAX=1024
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat9w.exe ^
"//IS//%SERVICE_NAME%" ^
--Description "%SERVICE_DESC%" ^
--JvmMs "%HEAP_MIN%" ^
--JvmMx "%HEAP_MAX%" ^
--JvmOptions "-Xrs;-Duser.locale=fr_FR"
I typed that in without any checks to make sure it will work. But you
get the idea.
Hope that helps,

Sounds like you have a fairly robust procedure already in place, and the
alternative installer may not provide too much benefit.

That depends on where you extract the files and if your unzip tool is set
to skip or overwrite newer files when extracting.

I use the zip file version, roughly I do this:
CD D:\Apache
unzip apache-tomcat-9.0.37.zip
MKLINK /D tomcat-9.0 apache-tomcat-9.0.37
And then I make all my instances have CATALINA_BASE=D:\Apache\tomcat-9.0 so I can minor upgrade several instances at the same time just by changing the symlink (services must be stopped first).

Is this necessary when using zip-package?

No problem. I have all three: dev- test- production- environment

Simplifying upgrades on the Windows platform is one of the main reasons I
created an alternative Windows installer. Latest version here:
https://github.com/Bill-Stewart/ApacheTomcatSetup/releases
Documentation is here:
https://github.com/Bill-Stewart/ApacheTomcatSetup
Basically the steps would be:
1. Back up/document your 8.x configuration.
2. If you used Apache's Windows installer, uninstall it (unfortunately this
removes the service and service configuration info).
3. Install the latest Tomcat version using the alternative installer, and
configure Tomcat as needed.
In the future, upgrades using the alternative installer are pretty simple:
1. Update the timestamps of the config files you don't want the installer
to overwrite.
2. Download and run the latest version of the alternative installer to
perform the upgrade. The installer automatically stops the service,
upgrades the files, and restarts the service. All service configuration
information is preserved.
Of course, I would strongly recommend testing all of the above in a test
environment first.
