To upgrade IBM® Content Search Services interactively,
you must run an upgrade program wizard. In a multiple server configuration,
run the upgrade program on each server that you want to upgrade.
Before you begin
Be sure that you have the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed
during your planning activities.
Procedure
To upgrade IBM Content Search Services:
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify
that the command is enabled.
To view only IBM Content Search Services values,
filter by CSS Installer in the Installation
or Configuration Program column.
- Log in to the host computer as the css_install_user user.
- Copy the IBM Content Search Services installation
package to the server.
- Access the IBM Content Search Services installation package
and run the installation program:

- Complete the upgrade installation windows by using the
values from your worksheet.
- Review the css_install_path/css_install_5.2.1.log file
for installation errors.
You should review log files
even if the IBM Content Search Services installation
program does not indicate any errors. Some errors that are noted in
the log files do not require user action. If an error requires you
to correct something (for example, you cannot subsequently index or
search for documents), see the log file for help in determining the
cause.
- After
the installation completes, verify that IBM Content Search Services is installed and running:

AIX, Linux, Linux for System z, Solaris |
See Starting and stopping IBM Content Search Services for the steps
to manually start IBM Content Search Services. |
Windows |
If you installed IBM Content Search Services as a service, check the
Services window in the Windows Control
Panel to see whether the "Windows Services
for the CSS" service started. (By default, the service name is "CSS
Server." However, a different service name might appear depending
on the number of instances and directory locations of IBM Content Search Services that you installed.) If
you installed IBM Content Search Services on Windows, but not as a Windows service, see Starting and stopping IBM Content Search Services for the steps
to manually start IBM Content Search Services.

- For multiple server configurations, repeat this procedure
for every server that you want to upgrade.
Attention: You must use a different server name and port for
each additional server. If you use the same server name and port as
a previously upgraded server, the new server upgrade installation
overwrites the existing server.
