To upgrade Content Platform Engine or Content Engine you
must use Configuration Manager to
create an upgrade configuration profile. The profile contains deployment,
authentication, and database-connection information.
Before you begin
Be sure that you have available
the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your
planning activities.
Procedure
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet file.
Tip: In
the worksheet file, verify that the command is enabled. To view only Configuration Manager values, filter
by CM: Upgrade Configuration Profile in the
Installation or Configuration Program column.
- Start the Create Upgrade Configuration Profile wizard by
using one of the following methods:
- Select .
- Click the Create a profile for an upgrade installation icon
in the toolbar.
Important: If
you are upgrading from version 4.5.1, be aware that Configuration Manager retains your
version 4.5.1 profile. That is, when you run the New Upgrade Profile
wizard, Configuration Manager uses
the existing version 4.5.1 profile to deploy Content Platform Engine. It does not create
a new profile.
- Complete the configuration screens by referring to the
values in your worksheet. The wizard screens that are displayed
depend on whether an existing Servers.xml file
was found in the ce_install_path\ContentEngine directory,
where ce_install_path is the location where Content Platform Engine or Content Engine is installed.
Option |
Description |
Servers.xml contains 1 server |
The upgrade wizard reads the server information from the Servers.xml file.
You must name the profile and provide a location for the profile.
If the Servers.xml file does not contain information
on the deployment type, you must select a deployment type. The wizard
creates a profile with the Configure Bootstrap Properties task and
the Deploy Application task. |
Servers.xml contains more than 1 server |
The upgrade wizard reads the server information from the Servers.xml file.
You must select a single server to upgrade from the list of servers
that was found in Servers.xml. You must name
the profile and provide a location for the profile. If the Servers.xml file
does not contain information on the deployment type, you must select
a deployment type. The wizard creates a profile for the server that
you selected with the Configure Bootstrap Properties task and the
Deploy Application task. |
Servers.xml was not found |
The upgrade wizard cannot determine any information about
your existing server. You must name the profile, provide a location
for the profile, and provide the application server properties. The
wizard creates a profile with the Configure Bootstrap Properties task
and the Deploy Application task. |
The upgrade profile is displayed as an icon in the left pane
with icons for the Configure Bootstrap and Deploy Application tasks.
