Running the command-line Content Engine Upgrader

You can create an XML upgrade status file and run the Content Engine Upgrader. The Upgrader does not encrypt the passwords or any other sensitive data. If your site requires compliance with FIPS-140, then use Content Engine Web Upgrade Tool (which does not store passwords).

The command-line Content Engine Upgrader gathers data from the Content Engine version 3.5 Global Configuration Data (GCD). It then creates an XML upgrade status file that represents the items that can be upgraded.

The XML file contains placeholders, which you must manually edit, for system settings that cannot be derived from the GCD, such as authentication settings. Each placeholder is indicated by the character string ###.

To run the command-line Content Engine Upgrader:

  1. Log on to a system where Content Engine Upgrader is installed as the ce_upgrade_user.
  2. Navigate to the ce_install_path\tools\upgrade directory, which contains the CE35_to_50Upgrader.bat file.
  3. Record the path GCD_Path to the GCD sysinit.dat file on the Content Engine version 3.5 system.
  4. Designate a path XML_Path for the XML upgrade status file.
  5. Run the following command to create the XML upgrade status file upgrade.xml. Do not enter any line breaks.
    CE35_to_50Upgrader.bat -i"GCD_Path/sysinit.dat" -o"upgrade.xml"
