Existing MWReporting customer install instructions:

NOTE:
The following instructions require you to uninstall your current MWReporting installation before installing this Maintenance Release.  DO NOT DELETE your current MessageWay or Datamart databases or tables.

1) Backup for future reference any MWReporting files that you may have created and or modified, for example appserver.keystore.  NOTE: if you have modified the server.xml file in a previous release, your changes will need to be merged into the server.xml file installed with this release, as an older server.xml file is not compatible with this release.
