You can upgrade an installation of IBM® Business Automation Workflow
Express to IBM Business Automation Workflow
Enterprise by using Installation Manager to install the
new edition over the previously installed edition in the same package group.
Before you begin
The edition you want to upgrade must have been installed using Installation Manager. Before
you perform the upgrade, shut down any servers or network deployment environments.
About this task
The supported product edition upgrade path is from IBM Business Automation Workflow
Express edition to IBM Business Automation Workflow
Enterprise edition. There are no other supported upgrade
paths. Note: An edition upgrade changes the product code so that new deployment environments can be
created for
IBM Business Automation Workflow
Enterprise. After you upgrade the
installation, consider upgrading any existing deployment environments by following the steps in
Upgrading a deployment environment from Standard to Advanced.
Important: Upgrading to a previous version
edition is not supported. You must upgrade to the same version of IBM Business Automation Workflow
Enterprise as your version of IBM Business Automation Workflow
Express.
