Chapter 3: Upgrading Websense Enterprise or Web Security Suite
These procedures require a test environment and may involve several cycles
of installation and upgrade.
The procedures for converting to v6.3.2 without upgrading are described in
the technical paper titled Transferring Configuration Settings to a v6.3.2
System Without Upgrading, available at: www.websense.com
Before You Upgrade
 Backing up files: Before upgrading to a new version of Websense
Enterprise or Web Security Suite, Websense, Inc., recommends that you
perform a full system backup as a fallback strategy. This will allow you to
restore your current production system with a minimum of downtime
should you encounter any problems with the upgrade. At a minimum, you
should back up the latest Websense configuration file and the
initialization files. To back up these files, stop the Policy Server and copy
the
config.xml file, the websense.ini file, and the
eimserver.ini file from the Websense\bin folder to a safe location.
 Non-English language versions: In v6.3.2, all Websense installers are
available in English and nine other language versions (see Non-English
Language Versions, page 69). When upgrading, choose the v6.3.2 installer
for the language of your current Websense installation. Upgrading your
system with the v6.3.2 installer for a non-English language will first convert
the system to English. At the end of the upgrade process, the v6.3.2
Language Pack installer will run automatically to convert the upgraded
Websense components to your language.
Warning
Do not attempt to upgrade an earlier version of Websense
Enterprise or Web Security Suite by copying the
config.xml file into a v6.3.2 system. Configuration files
from earlier versions are not compatible with v6.3.2.
Note
All Websense components in a Websense installation must
be in the same language.
