Upgrading IBM Content Navigator
You can upgrade to the current version of IBM Content Navigator from IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3 and later. If you are on Version 2.0.1 or 2.0.2, you must upgrade to Version 2.0.3 before upgrading to the current version.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you successfully installed, configured, and deployed a previous version of IBM Content Navigator.
- Ensure that you are running the prerequisite software at the appropriate version. For example,
ensure that the following statements are true:
- If you use IBM Content Navigator to connect to IBM Content Manager OnDemand repositories, ensure that you are running a supported version of IBM Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit. In IBM Content Navigator, ODWEK Version 9 is the minimum supported version.
- Ensure that your web application server supports the features that you plan to use. Features such as sync services and task manager are not supported on all web application server versions.
- Back up your current installation of IBM Content Navigator.
- Ensure that the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool is closed.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that you use the Installation and configuration worksheets to record the values that you use in your existing profiles. The worksheets make it easier for you to ensure that your profiles contain the correct information after you update them.
If you are upgrading your WebLogic Server version from 12.1.x to WebLogic 12.2.x , followed by upgrading from IBM Content Navigator 3.0.x to IBM Content Navigator 3.0.5, change the WebLogic installation directory in the IBM Content Navigator configuration tool for the profile already created in IBM Content Navigator 3.0.x and WebLogic 12.1.x by using the Modify Existing profile option in the configuration tool. Change from C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver to C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home
