Editing the upgrade.xml upgrade status file

You must edit the upgrade status file to provide information about the items you want to upgrade.

The upgrade.xml upgrade status file contains placeholders, for system settings that cannot be derived from the Global Configuration Data (GCD), such as authentication settings. Each placeholder is indicated by the character string ###.

To edit the upgrade.xml upgrade status file:

  1. Open the upgrade.xml file in a text editor.
  2. Replace each occurrence of the string ### with information that is appropriate for your site.
  3. Enter any passwords in plain text. The Upgrader tool does not encrypt the passwords or any other sensitive data. If your site requires compliance with FIPS-140, then use the graphical user interface to preserve password secrecy.
  4. Set the value for SelectedForUpgrade to yes to upgrade the item. Set the value for SelectedForUpgrade to no for items that you do not want to upgrade now.
  5. Set the Status attribute to ReadyToUpgrade for the items that you want to upgrade. An item is upgraded only if the SelectedForUpgrade value is yes and the Status value is ReadyToUpgrade. The following table describes the possible values for the status:
    Status Value Description
    NeedsInfo Additional configuration information is needed. Change this value to ReadyToUpgrade only after you have supplied all the required values for the item.
    ReadyToUpgrade The item will be upgraded if the corresponding SelectedForUpgrade value is set to yes.
    UpgradeStarted The Upgrader tool has started upgrading the item.
    UpgradeFinished The Upgrader tool has successfully upgraded the item.
    UpgradeFailed The Upgrader tool has failed to upgrade the item.
    Unsupported The Device is not supported by the Upgrader tool. This status applies to fixed content devices only.
  6. Save your edits. If you have no file stores or fixed content devices (FCDs) that contain full-text (CBR) indexes (Verity collections) to upgrade, then you have finished preparing for the upgrade.
  7. Save your changes and close the XML upgrade status file.
