Archiving and clearing the error log
Before upgrading W EBES, perform these steps to archive and clear the error log. If WEBES is installed and
running when you clear the log, stop the Director process before proceeding. See the WEBES User Guide
for information on stopping the Director. Also, do not stop and restart any Windows system processes.
NOTE:
You can upgrade
WEBES without clearing the error log. However, the initial scan of event data may
take longer if
the log is not cleared first.

• Windows 2000: Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer
• Windows Server 2003: Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer
• Windows XP: Select Start > Control Pan el > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative
To ols > Event Viewerr

Upgrading WEBES
This procedure applies when upgrading to W E BES 4 .5 RU1 from an existing version of WEBES that is
within t wo versions of 4.5. For example, WE BES 4.5 can be upgraded when either version 4.4.4 or
4.4.3 is installed, but not if version 4.4.2 or earlier is installed. If an upgrade is attempted on a version of
WEBES t
hat is too old, you will be told to uninstall the existing version, and the upgrade will not proceed.
If WEBE
S is already uninstalled or was never installed, see the WEBES Installation Guide.
Upgrading lets you preserve your configuration and state data. Be aware that upgrading uninstalls the
older version of WEBES and installs the newer version. The upgrade does not patch or replace certain
files, as was the case with WEBES Service Packs.
Whenever a version of WEBES is already installed that is capable of being upgraded, the WEBES kit
informs you that the older version was detected and prompts you about upgrading.
1. Double-click the WEBES kit file to o pen the kit.
