Redeploying the remote applications after a Rational Publishing Engine upgrade

Server administrators can redeploy the remote applications for remote document generation after upgrading Rational® Publishing Engine.

Before you begin

Upgrade Rational Publishing Engine.

Procedure

  1. Deploy the Remote services application.
    Note:
    • If you are upgrading from 1.1.2.2 or earlier, you must deploy the Remote services application again.
    • If you are upgrading from 1.2, 1.2.0.1, or 1.2.1, you are not required to deploy the Remote services application again. However, to use the features that are contained in a later release, you must deploy the Remote services application again. It is recommended to keep the version of the Remote services application in line with the version of the Rational Publishing Engine client applications you are using, but it is not required.
      Important: Changes are made to the report scheduling feature in the Remote services application during the upgrade to version 1.2.1.1 that affect the rollback process. If you upgrade the Remote services application but do not upgrade the Launcher application, do not roll back the Remote services application unless you back up the rpe_scheduler directory. After you roll back the Remote services application, replace the rpe_scheduler directory with the backup.
      • Apache Tomcat: CATALINA_HOME\bin\rpe_scheduler
      • Apache Tomcat as a Windows service: CATALINA_BASE\bin\rpe_scheduler
      • WebSphere® Application Server: WASInstallDir\AppServer\profiles\profile\rpe_scheduler
  2. Deploy the Reporting data services application.
    Note:
    • If you are upgrading from 1.1.2.2 or earlier, you must deploy the Data Services application again.
    • If you are upgrading from 1.2, 1.2.0.1, or 1.2.1, there are no changes to the Data Services application, so you are not required to deploy the application again.
