Sun Java Enterprise System 7 Installation and Upgrade Guide

Upgrading to Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1

Past versions of Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) were delivered in two ways:

Additionally, prior to version 6.0, the constituent components of Directory Server Enterprise Edition were delivered as separate products; for example, Directory Server 5.2 and Directory Proxy Server 5.2.

To support these past practices, Directory Server Enterprise Edition provides these upgrade paths to version 6.3.1:

Note –

When upgrading from DS 6.2, which was part of Java ES R5 Update 1, be sure to follow the instructions in Sun Alert 235361 (perform a full export/import of the relevant LDIF file).

  1. Upgrade the installation to version 6.3.1, as described in Upgrading Directory Server Enterprise Edition to 6.3.1 Using ZIP distribution in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3.1 Release Notes.

  2. Install the Directory Service Control Center if it was not already installed in the previous 6.x version, as described in Installing Directory Service Control Center From Zip Distribution in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Installation Guide.

Upgrading from a File-Based ZIP Distribution of DSEE 5.x

Use the following steps to upgrade from a file-based ZIP distribution of Directory Server Enterprise Edition 5.x to the file-based ZIP distribution of version 6.3.1:
