You must perform this procedure only to preserve settings or customizations from an earlier EP installation. After the upgrade completes successfully, you may see a list of files that you must merge manually.
The files that need to be manually merged are located in %SYBASE%\backup\onepage-both-chgs_XX.1st.
The generated files have a timestamp in their names
for tracking purposes (indicated above by XX,
where XX is a date/timestamp in the
format “YYYYMMDDhhmm”).
Also, note that “PROGRA~1” is specified, rather than “Program Files.” The start-up script for Tomcat cannot handle path names with spaces. You must either perform the installation in C:\Sybase, or use the eight-character version of the name.
Merging changed files
Expand the backed up WAR file into a temporary directory.
Open the Windows Explorer.
Select an existing temporary folder—for example, C:\WINNT\temp\—or create a new temporary folder.
Ensure the path is set properly to the jdk.14\bin folder where jar.exe is located.
Because jar.exe expands the file to the directory in which you are located, change to the temporary directory and expand the WAR file. In a Command prompt window, enter:
cd C:\WINNT\temp\ jar -xvf %SYBASE%\backup\onepage.war_XX
XX is a date/timestamp in the format “YYYYMMDDhhmm” that indicates when you can the upgrade or when the file was generated. If you run the upgrade more than once, there are multiple copies of these files—use the earliest version for your changes.
For each file in the onepage-both-chgs_XX.lst file, use a file merge utility to reintegrate your 6.0 portal changes into your new 6.1 portal.
If you do not own a file merge utility, perform an Internet
search for
“file merge utility”. The search results let you
access dozens of file merge utilities, many of which are shareware.
