When you upgrade from IBM® Optim™ Management Console v2.1 or IBM Optim Management
Server v2.1, the upgrade process deletes all databases used by the
instance of IBM WebSphere® Application Server Community
Edition that is installed with Optim Management
Console v2.1 or Optim Management
Server v2.1. To preserve the data in the databases, you must manually
copy the database directories before upgrading.
Before you uninstall Optim Management
Console v2.1 or Optim Management
Server v2.1, complete the following:
- Verify that an OptimDB directory
exists as a sibling directory to the installation directory for the IBM
Optim Shared package group, and create the OptimDB directory
if it does not exist. You can find the installation directory
for the IBM Optim Shared package group by opening IBM Installation Manager and clicking Modify. For example, on one computer, the installation directory
for the IBM Optim Shared package group is C:\Program
Files\IBM Optim\shared. Verify that the C:\Program
Files\IBM Optim\OptimDB directory exists, and create the C:\Program
Files\IBM Optim\OptimDB directory if the directory does
not exist.
- Open the directory in which the databases
are located. The location of the database directory is
at shared_installation_directory\WebSphere\ApplicationServer\var\derby\,
where shared_installation_directory is
the installation directory that you specified for the IBM
Optim Shared package group.
- Copy the following directories from the directory indicated
in step 2 to
the directory indicated in step 1. You might not have all of these directories if just Optim Management Console or just Optim Management Server is installed on the
computer.
- ActiveMRCDB
- ArchiveMRCDB
- optimConsoleDB
- OptimServerDB
- SystemDatabases
- UddiDatabase
You can now uninstall Optim Management
Console v2.1 or Optim Management
Server v2.1, and then install and deploy the new components to WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition.
