Upgrading
from WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus V4.3.1 to
Express Plus V4.4
After the system is in a quiescent state and backed up,
you can safely start the upgrade procedure. The Launchpad provides
a way to launch the GUI installer that leads you through upgrading
WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus V4.3.1 to WebSphere
Business Integration Server Express Plus V4.4. The GUI does the
following:
- Installs WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus
V4.4 product components and configures them as services.
- Installs any new adapters you select and configures them as
services.
- Does not drop your existing database.
- Retains your existing repository and does not redeploy it.
- Any role-based access security roles that you
set up previously for Failed Event Manager are not retained (you
can create new role-based access security roles, as described in
the System Implementation Guide).
Note:
If you have version 4.3.1 Adapter or Collaboration
Capacity Packs for WebSphere Business Integration Server Express
Plus installed, you must upgrade these to version 4.4 as well,
after upgrading
the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus product.
See the sections
Upgrading the Adapter Capacity Pack for WebSphere Business Integration
Server Express Plus V4.3.1 to V4.4 and
Upgrading the Collaboration Capacity Pack for WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express Plus V4.3.1 to V4.4 for more information.
