Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Planning Process Engine upgrades (versions 4.5.1, 5.0.0, 5.1.0)

Upgrades of versions 4.5.1, 5.0.0, and 5.1.0 require the use of a Process Engine upgrade wizard.

Upgrading Process Engine 4.5.1, 5.0.0, or 5.1.0 requires the following steps, which are explained in the upgrade instructions:
  • Install the Content Platform Engine and IBM® Case Foundation 5.2.1 software on an existing Content Engine application server or on a new application server.
  • Define data sources for any Process Engine database that is not already shared with an object store.
  • Deploy the combined Content Platform Engine on the application server.
  • Run the pre-upgrade wizard to gather configuration information for Process Engine. Upon completion of the wizard, the upgrade of the Process Engine database and isolated regions starts.

After the upgrade, the Process Engine is no longer a separate component. There is a single deployment of both the Process Engine and Content Engine components in the new Content Platform Engine. Each existing Process Engine database becomes a legacy workflow system in the Content Platform Engine. You administer legacy workflow systems, as well as new workflow systems, with the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine.

Start of changeTo move a legacy workflow system to the 5.2 style collocation model, you use the Region Move tool that is provided under Tools in the installation package. For detailed information on how to run the Region Move tool, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27036552. End of change

There are no longer any dependencies on the IBM FileNet® Image Services software and no IBM FileNet Image Services software is installed. You can remove the older versions of Process Engine and IBM FileNet Image Services after successfully installing the Content Platform Engine software and upgrading the database.

The Database administrator and FileNet P8 administrator upgrade tasks provide more details.
