Overview of Upgrading to Java CAPS 6.3

The process of upgrading from 5.x releases to 6.x releases is different from the previous upgrading process. Beginning with Release 6, you no longer perform an in-place installation. Instead, install Java CAPS 6.x in a new directory, and then import your Projects from previous releases.

Here are the basic steps for upgrading from 5.x releases of Java CAPS to release 6.3:

Install Java CAPS in a new directory
Export your Projects and Environments from an earlier release of Java CAPS 5.1.0–5.1.3 or Integrated Composite Application Network Suite (ICAN Suite) 5.0.5
Import your Projects and Environments into release 6.3 using the NetBeans IDE Import Manager
Update your runtime components, and then build and deploy the Projects

To upgrade from 6x releases of Java CAPS, you can either perform the above steps, or you can upgrade the existing Repository and use it with the new Java CAPS 6.3 installation. Performing the upgrade in this way, you do not need to export and import any Projects; you will just continue to use the existing Repository.

Note - Components from 5.x versions of Java CAPS or ICAN are not compatible with Release 6.3 components. For example, you cannot use a 5.1.3 Enterprise Designer to connect to a Release 6.3 Repository or vice versa.

Perform the procedure below related to the version from which you are upgrading:
