Upgrading #upgrading


 

Here is the situation.?
The MRRC I belong to is a bit antiquated. They run a Digitrax based system with a DCS-100 command station, and JMRI 4.6 with a Sprog II programming interface.
Of course the decoder definitions are not close to what some of the members run(myself included). Digitrax decoders are limited to series 6 for example.?
I would love to upgrade JMRI (have 5.10 and Java 17 at home with my DCS-52).
The questions remain,
(1) What files should I back up prior to the upgrade? I am thinking since we do not run panels or operations from JMRI just the roster needs to be backed up.
(2) Should I install Java first before the upgrade? I did Java 11 when I first downloaded JMRI 5.10 at home, but have since upgraded my Java.
(3) Will command station and Sprog settings be preserved with a JMRI overwrite upgrade?
