If you intend to upgrade the version of your database and database
client, perform that upgrade first. It is not possible to alter the
installed system to use new versions. The system uses the database
and database client files that you specify in the installer.
Back up any customized configuration files for Apache and tomcat.
The httpd.conf and
php.ini files are commonly customized for Apache.
If the system is configured to use HTTPS and SSL, back up your
certificates directory. The upgrade should not affect them.
If your current system was installed along with Rational Automation
Framework for Websphere (RAFW), you must migrate to Rational Automation
Framework (RAF). During an upgrade install of Build Forge, the RAFW
data is placed in a compressed file and moved to <bfinstall>/Manager/rafw.
See the RAF documentation for information on moving the data to RAF.
