Before you upgrade IBM® Enterprise
Records,
you must plan and prepare your environment.
To plan and prepare your IBM Enterprise
Records environment:
- Verify that your system meets the minimum hardware and
software requirements in the IBM FileNet P8 Hardware and Software
Requirements.
- Upgrade the IBM Enterprise
Records documentation.
- Work with the configuration files.
- Import existing file plans.
- Determine the upgrade path. You can upgrade
to IBM Enterprise
Records 5.1.0 directly
from FileNet Records
Manager 4.5 and
IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records 4.5.1. See the lonks at the end
of this topic.
Important: Upgrades from different
previous versions of FileNet Records
Manager require
slightly different procedures. These differences are documented throughout
the upgrade sections.
- Retain your basic platform configuration from the previous release.
Make no changes to user or group definitions during the upgrade, except
as part of the task for assigning users to the classified records
security personnel access role (DoD Classified only).
- To migrate from one platform to another (for example, from Microsoft SQL
Server database engine to Oracle)
contact your IBM FileNet representative.
