The upgrade process automatically preserves the M-Business database from your previous installation, if you request this during the installation process. You must manually migrate all other customizations that you have made from the previous installation to the new location.

To restore configuration file settings after upgrade is complete

1. Compare each of the files in the <M-Business_Home>/conf directory from the previous installation with its newly installed counterpart.

   Carefully note any differences in settings that you find.

2. Replace any values that were manually edited in the previous installation's files.

   For example, if in a previous release you changed the MaxClients setting in the sync.conf.default file to 100 and you want to retain this setting, you will need to make this exact change in the new sync.conf.default file.

   Caution

   Because the settings and sequence of settings in these files changes from version to version, it is important that you not simply copy your previous installation's configuration and default files over the newly installed configuration and default files. To do so could overwrite new settings or could alter the sequence of critical settings.

3. Save your changes.

4. After you have made all the configuration file changes, run the defaults_setup script from the <M-Business_Home>/conf directory.

5. Start or restart M-Business Server services.

   For instructions on starting, stopping, and restarting M-Business Server, refer to the Administrator Guide for M-Business Anywhere Server. See Configuring M-Business Server after installation.

To restore other customizations after upgrade is complete

1. Carefully examine the files in the previous installation to identify those that implement M-Business Anywhere customizations.

   In particular, look for:

   • Certificate files in <M-Business_Home>/conf/
   • Application files under <M-Business_Home>/tomcat/

   Tip

   The files in the <M-Business_Home>/bin/ directory have a timestamp that reflects the date on which that version of M-Business Anywhere was released. Any files that have a later timestamp may reflect customizations.

2. Move or copy all the files that support your M-Business Anywhere customizations from the previous installation to the corresponding location in the new installation.
