Finalizing and verifying your upgrade

You finish the upgrade process by finishing some final tasks and verifying that the new system is functional.

1. Start the operational server.
   1. Open IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Administrative Console.
   2. Select Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications.
   3. On the Business-level applications page, select your application. A red X in the Status field indicates the application is stopped. A green arrow indicates that the application is running.
   4. Click Start.
2. Verify that the new operational server starts with no errors in the log.
3. If you have custom applications that access the engine using API calls, install and configure the API, update your code, and recompile the custom applications against the new API. Note that as of InfoSphere MDM version 11.0, the API includes the removal of the direct TCP port. All API calls are biw routed through WebSphere HTTP ports.
4. If you use custom callout handlers, update them to use the OSGi framework, recompile them using the new API, and redeploy them from the IBM InfoSphere® MDM Workbench. For instructions, see the Workbench documentation.
5. If you use policy monitoring, migrate its configuration files and update its database and tables. For instructions, see the policy monitoring documentation.
6. If you use one or more of the various messaging brokers, convert their configuration files. For instructions, see the broker documentation.
7. If you use the IHE Accelerator project, upgrade its components. For instructions, see the IHE documentation.
8. Run InfoSphere MDM Inspector to confirm that your data is visible and available.
9. For optional components, run their user interfaces to test their functionality.
