If
you are upgrading FileNet® P8 from
version 5.1 or earlier, start the peupgrade wizard and set the Process Engine configuration parameters
for an upgrade. After providing input to the wizard screen, you will
finish the wizard and start the Process Engine upgrade.
About this task
Use the procedures in this task to run the peupgrade wizard
to configure upgrade parameters for an upgrade of the
Process Engine. For upgrades from
Process Engine version 5.0, complete these
procedures for every virtual server.
Procedure
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
file.
Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that
the command is enabled.
To view only peupgrade values, filter by peupgrade in
the Installation or Configuration Program column.
- Log on to the Content Platform Engine server
or a remote workstation as pe_upgrade_user.
- Start peupgrade, as follows:
Platform |
Command |
Windows |
cpe_install_directory\tools\PE\peupgrade.bat |
AIX®, HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Linux for System z, Solaris |
cpe_install_directory/tools/PE/peupgrade |
- -I
- This file will be created when the wizard is finished. If a file
with the specified name already exists, input parameters from that
file will be read. An input file with properties already set is required
to run peupgrade in silent mode. If no name is specified, changes
are saved to a peupgrade_in_mmddyyyy.properties
file, where mmddyyyy is the date. If there are
multiple virtual servers, each requires a unique input property file,
for example, peupgrade_in_mmddyyyy_virtualservername.properties
- -O
- If not specified, messages are saved to a peupgrade_out_mmddyyyy.properties
file, where mmddyyyy is the date file. If there
are multiple virtual servers, each should have a unique output file
to separate output messages for each virtual server. This will simplify
later review and troubleshooting of each virtual server.
- -v
- (optional) Setting verbose mode indicates the level of detail
for messages logged and displayed on the screen.
- -Y pe_upgrade_user + password
- You will be prompted for the user name and password if you do
not provide it in the command line.
- Using the values from your Installation and Upgrade Worksheet
file, complete the wizard screens.
- Review the summary screen and make any changes if necessary.
- Click Finish to save the information
to the output file and to start the upgrade.
