Restoring FileNet components after migrating to HCL Connections 6.0
After you migrate to HCL Connections™ 6.0 CR1, update Connections Content Manager and then restore your FileNet® components.
About this task
Complete the migration of Connections Content Manager from 5.0 or 5.5 to 6.0 CR1 by updating restoring FileNet components that you backed up before you installed Connections 6.0.
Procedure
- Update Connections Content Manager as explained in the technote, Connections 6.0 CR requirements for FileNet for use with Connections Content Manager (CCM).
-
If you connected to the Connections 5.0 or 5.5 databases during ® 6.0 installation, you must update the configuration of the FileNet storage area:
- Start Connections and Connections Content Manager.
- Access ACCE.
- Navigate to IC Domain > Object Stores > ICObjectStore > Administrative > Storage Areas > ICObjectStore > Properties.
- Change the value in Root Directory path as needed.
-
Migrate the encryption keys for the FileNet Content
Engine EAR file from 5.0 or 5.5 that you backed up before the 6.0 installation:
- Create two working directories, examples:
D:\CCM_WORK\OLD_EARD:\CCM_WORK\NEW_EAR - Copy Engine-ws.ear from the 5.0 or 5.5 environment to
D:\CCM_WORK\OLD_EAR. Note: Engine-ws.ear is usually in: <connections_root>\addons\ccm\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ccm\ear
- Copy Engine-ws.ear of the Connections 6.0 environment to
D:\CCM_WORK\NEW_EAR
Note: Engine-ws.ear is usually in: <connections_root>\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\ccm\ear
- Run the following
command:
Where:java -jar BootstrapConfig.jar -e D:\CCM_WORK\OLD_EAR\Engine-ws.ear -j D:\CCM_WORK\NEW_EAR\Engine-ws.ear- BootstrapConfig.jar is under <connections_root>\FileNet\ContentEngine\lib on Windows™ or /FileNet/ContentEngine/lib on Linux™/AIX®.
- -e introduces the source (old) EAR file.
- -j introduces the target (new) EAR file.
- Java can be the executable from WebSphere®, for example: D:\IBM\Websphere\AppServer\java\bin\java.exe
d. Copy the modified target EAR file (D:\CCM_WORK\NEW_EAR) (the file that is referenced by the -j switch in the command) to <connections_root>\FileNet\ContentEngine\tools\configure\profiles\CCM\ear, replacing the backed-up Engine-ws.ear.D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\bin\java.exe -jar D:\IBM\Connections\FileNet\ContentEngine\lib\BootstrapConfig.jar -e D:\CCM_WORK\OLD_EAR\Engine-ws.ear -j D:\CCM_WORK\NEW_EAR\Engine-ws.ear - Log in to the WebSphere Application Server
administrative console, then navigate to Applications > WebSphere Enterprise Applications.
- Choose FileNetEngine for update.
- Replace the entire application, specify the file path to the target (new) Engine-ws.ear, and then click Next.
- Accept the default setting on the next page, and then click Next.
- Accept the default installation options, and then click Next.
- Accept the Map modules setting, and then click Next.
- Review the summary, and then click Finish.
- Create two working directories, examples:
-
If you determined that the filenetAdmin user (usually the same as the
ConnectionsAdmin user) is a local WIM user, restore the backup of
fileRegistry.xml file from the 5.0 or 5.5 server. This action ensures that the
WebSphere Application Server running 6.0 has the same
file-based user registry to guarantee that user's ID is the same.
If the location does not match exactly, as when changing operating systems, see Optional: Changing the location on disk used to store library content for more information.
