IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.2   

Upgrading IBM Enterprise Records

Before you upgrade IBM® Enterprise Records, you must plan and prepare your environment.

Procedure

To plan and prepare your IBM Enterprise Records environment:

  1. Verify that your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements in the IBM FileNet P8 system requirements and the IBM Enterprise Records detailed system requirements page for details.
  2. Upgrade the IBM Enterprise Records documentation.
  3. Work with the configuration files.
  4. Import existing file plans.
  5. Determine the upgrade path. You can upgrade to IBM Enterprise Records 5.1.2 directly from IBM InfoSphere® Enterprise Records 4.5.1, IBM Enterprise Records 5.1, and IBM Enterprise Records 5.1.1.
    Important: Direct upgrades from different previous versions of FileNet® Records Manager are not supported.
    After completing these environment preparation steps, note the following items:
    • Retain your basic platform configuration from the previous release. Do not change user or group definitions during the upgrade except when assigning users to the classified records security personnel access role (DoD Classified only).
    • To migrate from one platform to another (for example, from Microsoft SQL Server database engine to Oracle) contact your IBM FileNet representative.
