If you have an existing Management Center installation
at the Version 7.0 or Version 7.0 Feature Pack 1 level and have customizations,
use the information in this topic to help you understand the migration
process, if you decide to upgrade your Management Center to the Version
7 Feature Pack 2 level.
Procedure
Review the overview steps:
- Identify customizations
on Management Center Version 7 Feature Pack x.
A comparison utility generates a comparison report that outlines the
changes you made to the Management Center Version 7 Feature Pack x web
module.
- In the WebSphere Commerce Developer Version 7 environment, install
Feature Pack 2.
- In the WebSphere Commerce Developer Version
7 environment, enable
the Management Center feature.
- Manually
merge your customized files to Version 7 Feature pack 2.
Note: To enhance the performance of Management Center, Feature
Pack 2 removes some OpenLaszlo files (
*.lzx)
and delivers some definition files (
*.def) instead.
In
Step 3 the enablement
script converts some of the customized OpenLaszlo files to definition
files. In this step, you must manually merge your customizations into
the definition files with the help of the compare tool.
- Rebuild your LOBTools project and test the updated project
within your development environment.
- Package
the Management Center files for deployment.
- In the WebSphere Commerce production environment, install
Version 7 Feature Pack 2 and enable the management-center feature.
- Deploy the development environment changes into the production
environment:
- Deploy the WAR file from Step 6.
- Deploy your store assets.
