Upgrading Content Engine data using Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool

Use Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool to validate and upgrade your version 3.5.2 FileNet® P8 domain and object stores.

Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool is initiated from a browser and runs on the machine where Content Engine is deployed. You run the tool in two phases: validation and then upgrade.

The validation phase determines whether your object stores and related data are ready for upgrade. You can select the set of all the object stores you intend to upgrade and validate them in one step, or you can select subsets of them for validation in several steps. During the first validation step, even if you have not selected any object stores, Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool validates (by default) the GCD, domain addons, and fixed content devices. During a validation step Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool does not stop at errors; it proceeds until it has validated all the selected object stores. If an object store fails validation, you must edit its associated data and then run the validation again until it succeeds.

The upgrade phase upgrades the successfully validated object stores. You can select all the validated object stores for upgrading in one step, or you can select subsets of them for upgrading in several steps. The first time you run the upgrade step, even if you have not selected any object stores, Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool upgrades (by default) the GCD, domain addons, and fixed content devices. During an upgrade step Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool stops at the first error. If an object store upgrade fails, you must edit its associated data and then upgrade it again until it succeeds.
