You can upgrade your existing Workplace XT installation to the most
recent version. You will likely also need to upgrade the FileNet® P8 component client software
and redeploy the Workplace XT application.
You can also upgrade optional components.
Upgrading the Workplace XT software
Updating the Workplace XT software
is the first step in the application upgrade process. The upgrade
installer re-creates the Workplace XT folder
structure and files needed for Workplace XT.
Installing Workplace XT software updates
After you install the IBM® FileNet Workplace XT software, you must install
any service packs, fix packs, and interim fixes required for Workplace XT.
Installing the latest Content Engine Client files on Workplace XT servers
The Content Engine Client
software enables communication between the Workplace XT and the Content Engine.
Your Content Engine Client version
on each Workplace XT server
must match the version of your Content Engine server
installation.
Deploying Workplace XT after upgrading
After you upgrade the Workplace XT software and install any
additional software updates, you must redeploy the application on
the Web application server. You can re-create the WAR or EAR file
before you deploy to include changes from software updates.
Migrating folder preferences
If you defined folder preferences in your previous Workplace XT version, you must migrate
the folder preferences after you upgrade your software. You cannot
use Workplace XT until you
migrate the folder preferences.
Upgrading optional components
You can upgrade the additional or optional components that
you installed to work with Workplace XT.
