If you already installed the IBM® Endpoint
Manager for Remote Control Server software,
you can upgrade the component by carrying out a similar installation
type to your original installation.
Before you start the upgrade, you must back up your property files
and any recording files if applicable. Back up any certificates, if
applicable. For more information about backing up and restoring certificates,
see the IBM Endpoint
Manager for Remote Control Administrator's Guide
- Property files
- common.properties

- log4j.properties
- controller.properties
The files are in the following directories.
- Windows systems
- [InstallDir]wlp\usr\servers\trcserver\apps\TRCAPP.ear\trc.war\WEB-INF\classes\ Where InstallDir is
the IBM Endpoint
Manager for Remote Control server

x86)\IBM\Tivoli\TRC\server\wlp\usr\servers\trcserver\apps\TRCAPP.ear\trc.war\WEB-INF\classes\
- Linux systems
- [InstallDir]wlp/usr/servers/trcserver/apps/TRCAPP.ear/trc.war/WEB-INF/classes/ Where InstallDir is

You can upgrade the server component by using any of the following
methods:

- Using the IBM Endpoint

- If you have the IBM Endpoint

infrastructure installed you can create and run a server installation
task to upgrade the server. For more information about using the wizard

is installed, manually edit the new properties files. Update the values
with the values that are in your backed up properties files. Restore
your recording files and certificates if applicable
