Installation guide

Important!
We recommend checking the migration log file after each leg of an upgrade before moving
on to the next leg.
For AS300 (Windows) upgrades, also consider the following:
• Since all IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300 servers and Application Servers must be installed on Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1, all upgrades to IMPAX 6.5.3 require forklift upgrades to new or restaged
hardware. All AS300 servers and Application Servers in a cluster must use the same operating
system. For details on installing Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, refer to the IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300
Installation and Configuration Guide.
• For IMPAX AS300 upgrades, if you are currently on SQL Server 2000 or later, and you want
to continue using SQL Server, you must do a forklift upgrade onto new or restaged hardware
installed with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. For details on installing SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, refer
to the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 4.5, 5.2, 5.3, or WEB1000 to IMPAX 6.5.3
or the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 6.2 or Later to IMPAX 6.5.3.
• To migrate an IMPAX AS300 cluster from SQL Server to Oracle, contact Agfa Professional
Services for assistance. This migration process is not documented in this guide.
For Oracle upgrades, the following considerations apply:
• To migrate an IMPAX cluster from Oracle for Solaris to Oracle on Windows, contact Agfa
Professional Services for assistance. This migration process is not documented in this guide.
• If performing a forklift upgrade, ensure that you install the same Oracle edition as the existing
production system or else the database migration will fail. For example, if the database on the
production system is Oracle Standard Edition, install Oracle Standard Edition when staging
the new system. Or, if the database on the production system is Oracle Enterprise Edition,
install Oracle Enterprise Edition when staging the new system.

This guide is intended for service and administrative personnel who are upgrading an IMPAX 5.2
or 5.3 AS300 cluster to IMPAX 6.5.3.
It is a companion volume to the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 4.5, 5.2, 5.3, or WEB1000
to IMPAX 6.5.3, which describes all tasks leading up to the upgrade weekend.
If upgrading an IMPAX AS300 cluster that uses direct attached archives, refer to the AS300 Upgrade
and DAA Consolidation Guide—IMPAX 5.2 or 5.3 to IMPAX 6.5.3.
If installing and initially configuring a new AS300 cluster, rather than upgrading an existing cluster,
refer to the IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300 Installation and Configuration Guide.
For information about using the IMPAX 6.5.3 software once it is installed, refer to the IMPAX 6.5.3
Server Knowledge Base, IMPAX 6.5.3 Application Server Knowledge Base, and IMPAX 6.5.3 Client
Knowledge Base: Extended.
