Upgrading from Collaboration Server 3.x to Collaboration 4.5 MP1

This section describes how to upgrade from Collaboration Server 3.x to Collaboration 4.5 MP1.

If you are currently running Collaboration Server 3.x, you must first upgrade to Collaboration Server 4.0.2. Refer to the Installation Guide for Plumtree Collaboration Server 4.0.2 for information on this upgrade path.

After upgrading to Collaboration Server 4.0.2, upgrade to Collaboration 4.5 MP1 according to the instructions described in Upgrading from Collaboration 4.x to Collaboration 4.5 MP1.

 

Upgrading from Collaboration Server 2.x to Collaboration 4.5 MP1

This section describes how to upgrade from Collaboration Server 2.x to Collaboration 4.5 MP1.

If you are currently running Collaboration Server version 2.x, you must first upgrade to Collaboration Server 3.0.2. Refer to the Installation Guide for Plumtree Collaboration Server 3.0 for information on this upgrade path.

After upgrading to Collaboration Server 3.0.2, you must upgrade to Collaboration Server 4.0.2. Refer to the Installation Guide for Plumtree Collaboration Server 4.0.2 for information on this upgrade path.

After upgrading to Collaboration Server 4.0.2, upgrade to Collaboration 4.5 MP1 according to the instructions described in .

Note: UNIX/Linux users - Collaboration 3.x was released only on Windows. The installation of 3.0.2 must take place on a Windows machine.

 

Running the Installer During Upgrade

To run the installer during upgrade:

  1. Back up the portal and Collaboration databases. This allows you to recover your data if there is a problem during installation. For more information, see your database documentation.
  2. Stop Collaboration.
  3. If you have an existing Notification Service from your previous installation of Collaboration, disable or uninstall it. The Notification Service that was previously included in the Collaboration installer has been replaced by the AquaLogic Notification Service and is included in the AquaLogic Interaction installer. The AquaLogic Notification Service is a required component of AquaLogic Interaction and should be installed and configured as part of your AquaLogic Interaction installation.
  4. Stop the Search Server, Automation Service, and Document Repository Service.
  5. Back up the Document Repository directory on the file system. By default, this directory is located in:
    • (UNIX/Linux) /opt/bea/alui/ptdr/documents/PTCollab
    • (Windows) C:\bea\alui\ptdr\documents\PTCollab
  6. Clear the Embedded Servlet Engine’s work directory. This allows you to recover your data if there is a problem during installation. By default, this directory is located in:
    • (UNIX/Linux) /opt/bea/alui/common/container/tomcat/<version>/work
    • (Windows) C:\bea\alui\common\container\tomcat\<version>\work
  7. Copy the installer file to the directory where you installed the previous version of Collaboration. This allows the installer to use the silent properties file created by previous installations. For more information on using the silent properties file, see Silent Properties File.

    8. If you want to install to a new location or do not want to use the silent properties file, you can launch the installer from any location on the Collaboration host machine.

  8. Install the Collaboration components as described in Installing the Collaboration Components.
  9. (Windows only) When the installer prompts you, reboot the machine. If you do not reboot, certain PATH environment variable changes might not take effect, and you will get errors when you try to deploy and start the applications.

 

Upgrading the Portal and Collaboration Databases

This section describes how to upgrade the portal and Collaboration databases.

Note: If you are upgrading Oracle from 10.1.x to 10.2.x or SQL Server from 2000 to 2005, you should perform the Oracle or SQL Server upgrade before upgrading the databases.
