You might need to update a deployment if you need to edit
the configuration tasks that are included in a configuration profile
or if you update your deployment environment, such as updating the
version of Content Engine that
you are running.
Before you begin
Undeploy the existing
IBM® Content
Navigator web
application and then restart the web application server.
About this task
The following list gives common situations in which you might
need to update a deployment:
- You want to update any of the settings in your web application
- You want to rebuild or redeploy the web application
- You want to configure the web application to work with additional
repository types
- You install a new version of Content Engine or Process Engine and you need to update
the client connector files
Tip: If you did not enable the
IBM Content
Navigator Configuration and Deployment
Tool to save passwords, you might encounter errors when you run some
tasks in the manual configuration and deployment mode. For example,
you might see an error message that indicates that the task has one
or more blank passwords, but the task does not include any password
fields.
If you encounter a blank password error, you must update
the configuration profile:
