Information Management IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management, Version 11.3

What to back up before upgrade

Before you upgrade, back up the key assets of your IBM® Initiate® or IBM InfoSphere® MDM Server environment.

Because each installation is different, the documentation doesn't attempt to provide specific steps for backing up. Use your preferred archiving and backup tools.
  • Database (including the user repository if it is stored in the database)
  • LDAP repository (if users are stored outside of the installation)
  • Log files
  • Success and Input data files for the Initiate Broker components
  • For InfoSphere MDM Server, the configuration settings within the CONFIGELEMENT database table
  • For Initiate, the Workbench workspace. The workspace will include your party.imm data model file, customization artifacts, custom code, handlers, and so on.
  • For Initiate, the configuration files in the conf directory
