If you are upgrading the version of Windows on your system at the same time that you are upgrading to M-Business Server 7.0, we recommend performing the upgrade in the sequence that follows, to ensure successful migration of your user and account data. The following steps require the use of two separate server machines.

To upgrade Windows while upgrading M-Business Server

1. On the machine with the existing installation of M-Business Server and the older version of Windows, back up these directories:

   • <M-Business_Home>/ASA/data – database files
   • <M-Business_Home>/conf – configuration files
   • <M-Business_Home>/logs – log files
   • Any other files in any other directories that support M-Business customizations that you have implemented. Be sure to check for custom PODS and Web applications in directories below <M-Business_Home>/tomcat.

2. On that same machine, upgrade to the current version of M-Business Server.

   See Upgrading M-Business Server on Windows.

3. On the machine with the newer version of Windows, install the current (new) version of M-Business Server.

   See Installing M-Business Server on Windows .

4. Copy the existing M-Business Server database from the machine with the older version of Windows to the machine with the newer version of Windows.
