The config directory of the client directory contains the settings of a client. To migrate the settings of a PPM 9.x client to PPM 9.9, you need to migrate the settings files (properties files) of the client as well as other settings.
The settings files of a PPM 9.x client are located in the directory <PPM9X_DATA>/config/<client>/. If you changed one or more files, proceed as follows to transfer them to a PPM 9.9 client (<PPM99_DATA>/config/<client> directory).
Procedure
If you changed any of the following settings files in the PPM 9.x client, you need to transfer these changes individually to the corresponding settings files of the PPM 9.9 client in the directory <PPM99_DATA>/config/<client>.
If you made changes to any of the following settings files in the PPM 9.x client you can migrate them by copying the respective file to the config directory of the PPM 9.9 client and thus replacing the existing one.
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 <PPM9x_DATA>/config /<client> to the current directory <PPM99_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, please note that the home directory is now <PPM99_CLIENT_RUN>/bin. This means that you need to replace <PPM9x_HOME>[/ppmmashzone]/server/bin/work/data_ppm/ by ../../../../../work/data_ppm/.
Then copy the changed files to <PPM99_DATA>/custom/<client>/config/ directory.
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 <PPM99_DATA>/config/<client>.
