Create backup files

Stop all studies and servers, using the following command:
pfadmin stop server <servername> /Trials
Back up all customized screens, images, reports, and database scripts, such as views, so they can be reapplied after the upgrade.
Also, back up any other files you might have created or copied to the InForm folder tree, including files in the InForm\Trials folder.

Examples:
- Changes to reason drop-down lists on CRF detail pages.
- Logo files and other images.
For more information, see Database and file customizations.
Run the reg export command to export the InForm Windows registry entries to a text file.
- For InForm 4.6, 5.0, or 5.5 releases, use the following syntax:
  reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Phase Forward" backupkeys.txt
- For InForm 6.0 or 6.1 releases, use the following syntax:
  reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OracleHS" backupkeys.txt
You will use the information exported to backupkeys.txt to set registry entries on the InForm 6.1.1.2 application server.

For more information, see Make updates to the Windows registry settings.
Back up the key.txt file, located in the <InstallationDirectory>\InForm\Bin\DBOra folder.
If it is not located in the DBOra folder, it is in the folder listed in the following registry entry:
HHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OracleHS\InForm\ScriptsOracle.

Note: This step is required only if you are upgrading from any InForm 6.0 or 6.1 release.
Back up all of the files for each study.
These objects are located in the <InstallationDirectory>\InForm\Trials folder.
If the CIS software is installed on the InForm application server, you must uninstall it.
Use the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs option to remove the CIS software.
