Instructions to Apply the Service Pack

Follow steps 1 through 9 to apply the service pack. (for both Windows and Linux)

1. Shut down Firewall Analyzer server. (If Firewall Analyzer is running as a service, stop the service also)
2. Please wait for a few moments till the server/service terminates completely
3. Take a backup of the existing Firewall Analyzer database
   1. PostgreSQL - For Firewall Analyzer version 7.5 (Build 7500) onwards
      Create a ZIP file of the contents of <Firewall Analyzer Home>/pgsql/data directory and save it as pgsql_backup.zip in the <Firewall Analyzer Home> directory
      
      
   2. MSSQL database
      Follow the steps given below:
      • Find the current location of the data file and log file for the database firewall by using the following commands:
      • use firewall go sp_helpfile go
      • Detach the database by using the following commands:
      • use master go sp_detach_db 'firewall' go
      • Backup the data file and log file from the current location (<MSSQL Home>\data\firewall.mdf and <MSSQL Home>\data\firewall_log.LDF) to the new location (<New location>\firewall.mdf and <New Location>\firewall_log.LDF).
      • Re-attach the database and point to the old location by using the following commands:
