Backup Procedure for TIBCO Workspace
If you are using a Workspace custom configuration, you may need to back up the
TIBCO Workspace configuration files to ensure that the custom configuration is
not lost when you upgrade the software. Also, if you are running a custom WCC
application, you may need to repackage and redeploy your applications to pick
up any changes in the upgraded software.
The procedure differs depending on whether you are using the default Workspace
application or a custom WCC application, as outlined in the following sections.
Default Workspace Application on the Runtime Machine
When you choose to upgrade your software, the installer overwrites all the
existing Workspace configuration files on the runtime machine. If you are using
the default Workspace application, you need to back up files before running the
installer to upgrade the software, as described:
If you had made configuration changes to Workspace using the Configuration
Administrator, these changes are saved in the database. Consequently, you
need NOT back up any files. When you start Workspace after upgrading the
software, it will read the configuration from the database.
If you had made configuration changes by directly modifying files on the
runtime machine (for example, config.xml, userAccess.xml, and so on), you
must back up those files prior to running the installer. After completing the
upgrade, replace the installed configuration files with the backed up
configuration files.
