The system upgrade involves the following steps:
Before you upgrade your system from WebSphere Business Integration Server Express 4.4 to Express Plus 4.4 on OS/400 and i5/OS, you must make sure it is in a quiescent state. This means that all in-progress events are completed and all in-doubt transactions are resolved before backing up the environment and performing the upgrade procedure.
The following steps describe how to put the system in a quiescent state:
See the System Administration Guide for more information about how to stop a running system gracefully.
If you are upgrading from WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.4 to Express Plus v4.4 on OS/400 and i5/OS, backing up the system allows you to recover any files that might be overwritten inadvertently during the installation of the new version. Before performing the upgrade procedure, back up both static data and dynamic data (changeable data that you back up on a regular basis, regardless of upgrades). For examples of static and dynamic data, see Table 3..
To back up the system, do the following:
repos_copy -sQWBIDFT44 -oRepositoryExpress.txt -uadmin -pnull
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/servername/mqseries/crossworlds_mq.tst
Table 3 summarizes how to back up the different components.
Type of data | Backup method | |
---|---|---|
Static data | ||
Repository | Use the repos_copy utility to save some or all of the customized system components. For more information, see the description of how to back up components in the System Administration Guide. | |
Custom map Java class files (.class) | To include these files in your system backup, make sure the following directory is in your system backup: ProductDir\DLMs | |
Custom connectors | Include the following directory in your system backup: ProductDir\connectors\connector_name, where connector_name is the name of the custom connector. | |
Customized startup scripts | If you have customized any startup scripts, make sure that they are included in your system backup. | |
InterChange Server Express configuration file (InterchangeSystem.cfg) | Include in your system backup the InterChange Server Express configuration file that resides in the /QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/servername directory, where servername is the InterChange Server Express name. QWBIDFT44 is the default on OS/400 and i5/OS. | |
Dynamic data | ||
Cross-reference, failed events, and relationship tables | Use the database backup utility for the database. For more information, see the description of how to back up system components in the System Administration Guide. | |
Connector event archive tables | Use the database backup utility for the database that contains these tables. | |
Log files | Include the following directory in your system backup:/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/servername/DLMs, where servername is the InterChange Server Express name. QWBIDFT44 is the default on OS/400 and i5/OS. |
After backups are complete and you are upgrading from WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.4 to Express Plus v4.4, you will need to shut down the system as follows:
The queueName is serverName.QUEUE.MANAGER where serverName is the Interchange Server Express instance name. The default server is named QWBIDFT44 and therefore, the queueName is QWBIDFT44.QUEUE.MANAGER. The serverName is provided entirely in uppercase in the queueName along with the rest of the name. This is mandatory.
For more information on system shutdown, see the System Administration Guide.
