Changes to the installation process

• The File Backup and Restore operations have been removed from the installation app. The file-migration task in the deploy.properties file is no longer supported.
• The Oracle Text option has been removed from the Database Server card in the installation app. The oracle_enable_text parameter in the deploy.properties file is no longer used. Instead, enable Oracle Text manually after you install OpenPages.

  Alternatively, you can use the database scripts to create the database and have those scripts install Oracle Text as part of the database installation process. However, to install Oracle Text, the database scripts must be run from the database server. Installation of Oracle Text cannot be performed from a remote system.

In 8.2.x, customized JSPs were stored in the following locations:

<OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/shared/apps/op-apps.ear/openpages.war

<OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/shared/apps/op-apps.ear/publishweb.war

<OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/shared/apps/op-apps.ear/sosa.war

Now, store your customized JSPs in the following locations:

<OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/shared/apps/op-apps.ear/publishweb.war

<OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/shared/apps/op-apps.ear/taskui.war

OpenPages no longer uses the IBMOpenPagesFrameworkModelGenerator service. OpenPages now uses the Cognos® SDK to generate the framework. Note the following changes:

• BmtScriptPlayer.sh is no longer used.
• The IBMOpenPagesFrameworkModelGenerator service is no longer used.
• If you use Oracle and you use DQM framework models only, the 32-bit Oracle client software is no longer required.

  If you are upgrading or migrating and you want to continue to use CQM framework models, the 32-bit Oracle client is still required.

• The files and folders for framework generation are now stored on the OpenPages application servers. The framework, FrameworkGeneration, and wlp folders were removed from the reporting server, along with any files related to the framework.

  For example, model query subjects are now stored in <OP_HOME>/aurora/framework/conf/mqs. Previously, they were stored on the reporting server in the <CC_HOME>/framework/conf/mqs directory.

• Most properties have been removed from the framework.properties file. The remaining properties are
  • datasource
  • database.schema
  • security.namespace
• The cognos.framework.refresh.servlet property was removed from the aurora.properties file.
• The Framework Port and Framework Output Directory fields were removed from Report Server cards in the installation app. Also, the framework_port and framework_output_directory properties were removed from the deploy.properties file.
