Manually loading the configuration data after a fix pack

Applies to: On premises

When you apply a fix pack, IBM OpenPages® automatically loads the application data. You can load the application configuration data manually, if needed.

Before you begin

The IBM OpenPages fix pack must be installed.

The OpenPages services must be running.

About this task

If errors occur when the application data is loaded during the installation of a fix pack, you can correct the issues that caused the errors and then load the application data manually.

The application data loader file includes the application data from 9.2.x.x up to and including the fix pack version that you are installing.
