Completing the pre-upgrade Content Engine preparation
Before you upgrade Content Engine from
version 3.5.2, you must complete some preliminary procedures on the
existing version 3.5.2 system.
Implementing server-side scripts and COM objects
You need to convert event handlers, lifecycle action handlers,
and document classifiers in version 3.5.2 of Content Engine to Java classes for version
5.0.0.
Resolving Content Engine name conflicts
You must resolve conflicts between the version 3.5.2 class
and property names and the version 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 class and property
names.
Determining the CBR-enabled properties in an object store
For each object store to be upgraded, you must determine
the associated classes and properties that are currently enabled for
content-based retrieval (CBR). You enable these properties after the
upgrade is complete.
Upgrading IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records object stores
If your site includes FileNet® Records
Manager, you must update the FileNet Records
Manager data model on each file
plan object store (FPOS) before you install Content Engine version 5.0.0.
Moving IBM TotalStorage DR550 fixed content device data
Although IBM TotalStorage DR550 devices have been supported
since version 4.5.0 FP2 of Content Engine,
there is no upgrade path to move file stores that are on such devices
from version 3.5.2 to 5.0.0. If you need to move the content of your
DR550 fixed content devices from version 3.5.2 of Content Engine to version 5.0.0, contact
IBM Support.
