Migrating from 1.0 to 1.0.1
We have our Jazz 1.0 installation configured to use DB2 and WebSphere. And we actually have two instances of 1.0, each work with its own instance of DB2 database and WebSphere profile.
Reading the 1.0.1 upgrading documentation, it says we can update the 1.0 instance to 1.0.1 via Installation Manager
And workitemindex seems to be the only set of files we need to copy back.
But it also says that to upgrade a Websphere Application Server, remove the 1.0 jazz.war file and deploy the 1.0.1 jazz.war file.
I can understand that we need to do this on our secodary instance of Jazz server, but I don't understand why the update skip it in our original Jazz server installation.
And we have to manual update the jazz.war file?
Although it mentions that we need to activiate the 1.0.1 license keys after the updating, it is also not clear that after the updating via Installation Manager, do we need to go through the DB2 database connection, Server setup all over again or not?
Please clarify with more details as we want to make sure this works perfect on our production server.

The Installation Manager can only upgrade a Tomcat install. If you are
hosting Jazz/RTC in WAS then you will need to upgrade the WAR by hand.
About the license keys, you should not need to go through the full
setup, as those settings will be preserved in the teamserver.properties
file, but you will need to re-upload any license keys you have added to
your server.

So I guess the procedure is to use Installation Manager to upgrade the default Jazz 1.0 install to 1.0.1 and then do the jazz.war by hand?
As for the instruction: to upgrade a Websphere Application Server, remove the 1.0 jazz.war file and deploy the 1.0.1 jazz.war file.
Does it mean we need just shutdown WAS and replace the 1.0 jazz.war with 1.0.1 one and restart WAS? Or we need uninstall the 1.0 jazz.war and install 1.0.1 jazz.war in WAS?

Right, upgrade your install with Installation Manager, then apply the
new jazz.war to WAS.
The safest method of WAS upgrading is: Uninstall 1.0 the jazz.war,
restart the server, and then install the new 1.0.1 war.
