Upgrading and Uninstalling the Lotus Notes Portlets

This chapter describes how to upgrade or uninstall the components of your Lotus Notes Portlets deployment. The process is different depending on your operating system.

 

Upgrading from a Previous Version

If you are upgrading from a previous version, you do not need to complete the portal registration steps or the object configuration teps described in Registering and Configuring Portlets.

  1. Back up the Lotus Notes server configuration file: <PT_HOME>\PortletSuiteLotusNotes\<version>\settings\config\NOTESserverlist.xml (<PT_HOME> is the installation directory and <version> is the release version of the software).
  2. If you have made customizations to the portlet properties files, back up the properties files.
  3. Uninstall the application as described in the next sections, Uninstalling from a Windows Host or Uninstalling from a Solaris Host.
  4. Install and deploy the latest version as described in Installing the Lotus Notes Portlets.
    5. Note: If you deploy to a Java application server version that is not supported for this release, the steps to deploy the application to the Web application server will not be identical to the steps provided in this guide.
  5. Restore any configuration and/or properties files you backed up in steps 1 and 2.
  6. Restart the Java application server.

 

Uninstalling from a Windows Host

The uninstallation wizard will remove the software and service configuration information.

  1. Remove portlet services from the Web application server:

    2. WebLogic:

    1. In a Web browser, type the following URL: http://<hostname>:7001/console

    6. Launch the administrative client and stop the application server.
    7. Navigate to WebSphere Administrative Domain | Enterprise Applications and highlight the portlet suite deployment.
    8. Click X (remove icon) in the toolbar to remove the service from the application server.
  2. To uninstall the Remote Server, log in to the Remote Server host computer from a Solaris X-11 environment and execute the Uninstall_PortletSuiteLotusNotes command, in the <PT_HOME>/PortletSuiteLotusNotes/3.3/uninstall/ directory.
  3. Click Done to close the uninstallation wizard.
Note: The uninstallation wizard removes the <pthome> install directory and all its subdirectories and contents. If there are files residing in these directories that were not installed by the installer, they will not be deleted.
