Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Creating an upgrade configuration profile

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

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Configuration Manager values, filter by CM: Upgrade Configuration Profile in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Start the Create Upgrade Configuration Profile wizard by using one of the following methods:
    • Select File > Upgrade Profile.
    • 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.
  3. 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.
