Backing
up the previous version
You must back up your previous version of WebSphere Partner
Gateway before proceeding with the upgrade. The following procedure
describes the tasks needed to successfully back up your existing
system:
- Back up the database. Refer to your database administrator or
database documentation for information on how to do this. This step
is important because the database contains WebSphere Partner Gateway
data that is difficult to re-create.
- Back up the shared, common directory tree, located in {INSTALL
DIR}/common. This step is important because the shared, common tree
contains WebSphere Partner Gateway data, such as the non-repudiation
and message store directories, that is difficult to recreate.
- Back up the previous WebSphere Partner Gateway installation
directories. For example: {INSTALL DIR}/console, {INSTALL DIR}/receiver,
and { INSTALL DIR}/router.
Alternatively, you can repeat the following steps to
back up only the specified configuration data:
- Back up the embedded WebSphere Application Server configuration
by calling the was/bin/backupConfig.* script that is appropriate
for your operating system. Copy the WebSphereConfig*.zip backup
file to the backup location.
- Back up the was/jndi/WBIC subdirectory tree.
- Back up the was/config subdirectory tree.
