The config directory of the client directory contains the settings of a client. To migrate the settings for a previous PPM version client to PPM 10.1, you need to migrate the settings files (properties files) for the client as well as the other settings.
The settings files of a previous PPM version client are located in the directory <PPM_PREVIOUS_DATA>/config/<client>/. If you have made changes in one or more files, you should proceed as follows to transfer them to a PPM 10.1 client (directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>).
Additionally, the values of the parameters ERROR_NODE.STR, NOT_TYPIFIED.STR, WRONG_TYPIFIED.STR located in <PPM_PREVIOUS_DATA>/config/<client>/Database_settings.properties must be copied to <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>/Database_settings.properties.
If you have made changes to one of the following settings files in the previous PPM version client, you need to transfer these changes individually to the corresponding settings files for the PPM 10.1 client in the directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>.
If you have made changes to one of the following settings files in the previous PPM version client, you can migrate them by copying the corresponding file to the config directory for the PPM 10.1 client and replacing the existing file.
From version 9.8, the entry EMAIL_FROM=<sender of generated e-mails> must exist in the file Mail_settings.properties.
Add this entry to the file Mail_settings.properties and specify the required e-mail address. If you do not want to enter a specific sender, please write EMAIL_FROM=noreply@softwareag.com.
The files for initializing the system take on a special role.
These files usually reference xml files in the custom directory of the client installation. Copy these files from the directory <PPM_PREVIOUS_DATA>/config /<client> to the current directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>.
Edit the files using a text editor and adjust the paths contained. Make sure that you use relative paths and / or \\ as separators between the individual path parts.
If you have been using absolute paths, note that the home directory is now <PPM_CURRENT_CLIENT_RUN>/bin. This means that you need to replace <PPM_PREVIOUS_HOME>/ppmmashzone/server/bin/work/data_ppm/ with ../../../../../work/data_ppm/.
Then copy the changed files to the directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/custom/<client>/config/.
Do not change any of the other settings files (CorbaServer_settings.properties, Help_settings.properties, RMIServer_settings.properties, Template_settings.properties) located in the directory <PPM_CURRENT_DATA>/config/<client>.
