On the application server running Oracle Empirica Signal 9.1.0.x, start a command shell.

1. As the non-privileged user, on the application server running Oracle Empirica Signal 9.1, start a command shell (for example, Putty).
2. Create a temporary directory <Signal9108> (for example, /u01/stage/Signal9108), and unpack ESI_9.1.0.8.zip into it.
3. In the temporary directory, open the file update_Signal.sh and verify that directory /u01/stage/Signal_Install, specified in the file, exists.
4. From the temporary directory, give the shell script execute permissions and run it:
   $ chmod +x update_Signal.sh
   $chmod +x 9.1.0.5/update_Signal_to_9105.sh
   $ ./update_Signal.sh

   Verify that the script prints Completed and that there are no errors.

5. Verify that there is a backup copy of <INSTALL_DIR>, for example:
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_0_360_bkp,
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_1_361_bkp,
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_2_363_bkp,
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_3_364_bkp,
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_4_366_bkp,
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_5_367_bkp,
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_6_371_bkp, or
   • Signal_Install.9_1_0_7_374_bkp
6. Verify the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/Web-INF/lib directory includes the following file, where XXX is the build number:
   Signal-9_1_0_8_xxx.jar
