Backing up your Latitude Studio 2.1 files

The first step in migrating to Latitude Studio 2.2.x is to back up the files from Latitude Studio 2.1.

To back up your Latitude Studio 2.1 files:

  1. Stop your Latitude Studio server.
  2. Back up your database as follows:
    • If you are using HSQL, skip this step. Your database will be backed up as part of step 4 below.
    • If you are using MYSQL, DB2, or some other RDBMS, follow the backup procedures from your vendor.
  3. Back up any Latitude Studio customizations you have made, such as database connectivity options in portal-ext.properties.
  4. Back up the entire endeca-portal\data directory to a safe backup location.

    If you have changed the location of anything normally kept in endeca-portal\data, such as your data source definitions, JCR repository, or Lucene search indexes, back up your custom location(s) as well.

  5. After backing up the files, rename the endeca-portal directory.

    This ensures that the Latitude Studio 2.2.x installation will not overwrite any of the existing files.

    You will remove this directory when you complete the Latitude Studio 2.2.x installation.
