Migrating and updating
Migrate IBM® Connections and its supporting software to the latest release and then update the installation with the latest interim fixes or Cumulative Refresh (CR).
About migrating
Migrate an IBM Connections 4 deployment to Connections 5.
Built-in wizards and scripts move your data, configuration settings, and databases from version 4.0
or 4.5 to version 5.0.
Note: IBM Connections 4.0 GA, 4.0 with Cumulative Refreshes (CRs),
4.5 GA, and 4.5 with CRs can be migrated directly to version 5.0.
If you have any customized header, footer, theme, or CSS files, you might need to update those customizations manually. For more information, see the Saving your customizations topic.
Note: You
must delete any Search-related data from your IBM Connections 4.0/4.5 content stores, such
as indexes and statistics. The 5.0 installation generates new Search-related
data.
About updating
Update IBM Connections 5.0 with the latest interim fixes or Cumulative Refresh (CR).
After updating, you might need to reconfigure IBM HTTP Server. For more information, see Configuring IBM HTTP Server.
