Before you upgrade IBM® Enterprise
Records,
you must plan and prepare your environment.
Procedure
To plan and prepare your IBM Enterprise
Records environment:
- 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.
- Upgrade the IBM Enterprise
Records documentation.
- Work with the configuration files.
- Import existing file plans.
- 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.
