Upgrade the Process Engine by
performing several pre-upgrade steps, installing the Process Engine software, and performing
multiple post-upgrade steps.
Before you start to upgrade the Process Engine software, ensure that you
are at the correct version and fix pack level, as indicated in Plan and Prepare Your Environment for IBM FileNet P8
An upgrade to Process Engine version
5.0 software consists of pre-upgrade steps, installation and configuration
of the software, and a number of post-upgrade steps. The pre-upgrade
and post-upgrade steps you perform depend on which version of Process Engine software you are upgrading
from. The installation of the version 5.0 software does not replace
the existing Process Engine or
the underlying IBM® FileNet® Image Services software.
After you have successfully upgraded and backed up the new system
and database, you can remove the older versions of Process Engine and IBM FileNet Image Services software. Use the procedures
for removing Process Engine in
the documentation for the version of software you are upgrading from.
