Stop the TrackStudio 3.5.x instance.
Install the TrackStudio 3.5.y into a separate directory.
Configure the new TrackStudio instance using sman.
HSQLDB only: Copy all database file (tsdb.*) from the TrackStudio 3.5.x home directory into the home directory for the new instance.
Copy all files from the TrackStudio 3.5.x upload directory into the Upload directory for the new instance. To determine the upload directory path, see the trackstudio.uploadDir property in the trackstudio.properties file.
Delete the contents of the Index directory. To determine the index directory path, see the trackstudio.indexDir property in the trackstudio.properties file.

Minor version updates (3.5.x to 3.5.y) do not require a database upgrade.
The SA and WAR versions use the same database scheme and differ only in the distributed components – no special actions are required to transfer the data between the WAR and SA versions.
If you are using the default HSQLDB DBMS, your database files look like tsdb.lck, tsdb.log, tsdb.properties and tsdb.script. Do not delete them.
Both the Upload and Index directories can be specified in a flexible manner in trackstudio.* configuration files, to set them outside the TrackStudio instance directory. This has implications when upgrading.
