Upgrading from an earlier version

You do not need to uninstall the previous version of the Pack. Installing the new version of the Pack overwrites the earlier version and any installed fix packs.

  1. Create a backup of all your jobs by exporting them to a file.
  2. Run the Pack installation program and follow the installation process.
  3. Open the IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® and QualityStage® Administrator client.
  4. Select the upgraded project. Click Migrate to migrate your jobs.
  5. Open the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer client.
  6. Recompile the migrated jobs.
  7. Copy the DSBWConnections directory to the upgraded computer, or manually recreate the connections on the upgraded client. To copy the directory, you can use the IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Administrator client for SAP to export the connection, or you can manually copy the directory.

You can access the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Integration Guide for IBM InfoSphere Information Server Pack for SAP BW from the Quick Start CD. Read this guide for additional details about migrating or upgrading SAP BW jobs.
