great @Joel.Peasley][/url thats what I was looking for upgrading the JSS, thanks alot.

Not sure if the documents mention it (I'm sure they do!) but if you've made any changes to the files in the tomcat directory (e.g. to add non-apple apps to the Dock configuration profile) then you'll either need to grab those files before the upgrade and replace them after the upgrade, or make the same modifications the the tomcat files.

Hope that helps!
