What to back up before an 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 does not attempt to provide specific steps for backing up. Use your preferred archiving and backup tools.
Be sure to back up the following assets:
- 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
