Back Up Environment
Back up the existing environment before attempting an upgrade. To back up the existing QDT installation directory, use the following steps:
1 Exit any QDT sessions.
2 Shut down all of the processes associated with the environment being backed up, including all Progress processes and Tomcat.
3 Stop the QAD Enterprise Edition environment by running the following script:
<QDT_install_directory>/envs/<environment_name>/scripts
/stopenv.<environment_name>
4 Shut down the Progress Admin Server.
5 Shut down Tomcat.
6 Back up the QAD EE installation directory.
7 Back up the Progress databases, including all of the empty databases associated with the environment. Refer to the Progress documentation at www.progress.com/support for Progress backup procedures.
8 Back up folders under the Tomcat webapps directory.
9 Stop the Tomcat server by running the script:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
10 Back up the following folders under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps:
• epub
• search
• qadhome
qadhome represents the default name. Back up the correct directory if the previous EE version name was modified.
• qadui
qadui represents the default name. Back up the correct directory if the previous EE version name was modified.
11 Back up the $DLC/properties/ubroker.properties and conmgr.properties files (where applicable).
