Updating WAR files overview

When you update a WAR file, Jive Cloud Admin automatically compares it to a standard WAR file for that version to identify file-by-file differences.

Jive Cloud Admin maintains a standard library of WAR files for comparison so you can see the impact of your changes and verify you're uploading the correct version. This information can be useful for evaluating the impact of your customizations. Highly customized WAR files will be harder to upgrade when you need to go to the next version of Jive.

When you update a WAR, Jive Cloud Admin launches a comparison tool that provides a detailed accounting of the customizations you have included. You can see and download a complete list of the changed files.
