FileNet P8 Content Federation Services, Version 5.2.1              

Upgrading and configuring IBM FileNet CFS for Content Integrator

To upgrade your content federation system, you must run the IBM® FileNet® Content Federation Services for Content Integrator installation program and deploy the new Federation Administration application.

Before you begin

Before you start the upgrade, shut down the content federation system:

Procedure

To upgrade your content federation system:

  1. Undeploy the existing Federation Administration web application. In the administration console of your application server, delete the Federation Administration applications.
  2. Back up your existing content federation configuration files:
    • The Content Integrator config.xml file
    • The Content Integrator sso.xml file
    • All RMI proxy server scripts, including the bin/config.bat file
  3. Upgrade Content Integrator to v8.6.0.2.
  4. Upgrade Content Integrator connectors to v8.6.0.2.
  5. Run the IBM FileNet CFS for Content Integrator installation program. The installation program detects and copies the configuration values that were set in the existing installation.
    Important: If you modified the CFS_Installed folder\FedExporter\conf\federator.properties file, the changes are not preserved after the upgrade. You can manually update the file after you upgrade, or you can copy the federator.properties file from the backup folder that is created in the installation directory during the upgrade.
  6. Deploy the new Federation Administration application.
  7. Verify the upgrade.
