Update the configuration profile from the original application server, changing values as
appropriate for your new configuration.
Before you begin
Start the application server instance if it is not already running.
About this task
The version of the configuration profile that you use must match the version of theConfiguration Manager tool. Because of this requirement, you must
upgrade your configuration profile before you run the upgrade.
Procedure
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet file.
Tip: In the worksheet file,
verify that the command is enabled.
To view only Configuration Manager values,
filter by CM:
Edit Installation Profile in the Installation
or Configuration Program column.
-
In Configuration Manager, select
, or click the Create a profile for an upgrade installation
icon in the toolbar.
-
Locate the server entry that corresponds to the profile that was copied from the original
application server.
The wizard screens that are displayed depend on whether an existing
Servers.xml file was found in the
ce_install_path\ContentEngine directory, where
ce_install_path is the location where Content Platform Engine
or Content Engine is
installed.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Servers.xml contains 1 server |
The upgrade wizard reads the server information from the Servers.xml
file. If the Servers.xml file does not contain information on the deployment
type, you must select a deployment type. |
| Servers.xml contains more than 1 server |
The upgrade wizard reads the server information from the Servers.xml
file. You must select a single server to upgrade from the list of servers that was found in
Servers.xml. If the Servers.xml file does not contain
information on the deployment type, you must select a deployment type. |
| Servers.xml was not found |
If the Servers.xml file cannot be found, your upgrade process more closely resembles an
upgrade to a new instance. The upgrade wizard cannot determine any information about your existing
server. You must name the profile, provide a location for the profile, and provide the application
server properties. See Configuring Content Platform Engine into a new application server instance with a new profile for details.
If you want to
use the settings in your configuration profile for the upgrade, you can recreate the
Servers.xml file before you run the Create Upgrade Configuration Profile
wizard. For instructions, see Re-creating the Servers.xml file.

The upgrade profile is displayed as an icon in the left pane with icons for the tasks that are
required for your upgrade path.
-
Open the profile and select Edit Application Server Properties.
Attention:
WebSphere® Application
Server: If you
are editing the profile for a highly available clustered environment, use the profile for the
WebSphere Application
Server deployment manager.
- In the Edit Application Server Properties window,
change or verify the following values. They must match the new application
server, not the server you are migrating from.
- Application server version
- Application server SOAP port
- Application server host
- Application server cell
- Optional: WebSphere Application
Server only. In the Set
Properties for Application Server screen, click Test
Connection to test the connection between Configuration Manager and the application
server by using the information that you provided.
The
test is optional, and you can proceed in the wizard even if the test
fails. If the test fails, make sure that the application server is
running and that the application server property values that you entered
match the values that are defined in your application server.
