This section explains how to upgrade FIX Module and migrate packages from FIX Module 6.5 to FIX Module 7.2 for users of an implementation of FIX Module 6.5 using Trading Networks.
Users with an implementation of FIX Module 6.5 without Trading Networks and customized settings must uninstall FIX Module and reinstall it as a new installation by following the procedure described in Installing webMethods FIX Module .
FIX Module 7.2 introduces several changes to the module’s design. Therefore, as part of the upgrade procedure, you must complete the configuration sub-steps described in this section to use FIX Module 7.2 successfully.
Before you begin the upgrade process, read the entire procedure to understand changes in the module’s design. When you install FIX Module 7.2, all existing IS document type documents will be overwritten. If you have modified any of the IS document types, for example, by adding new fields, in your FIX Module 6.5 WmFIXMessages package, and you want to keep these custom fields, after installing FIX Module 7.2, you must modify the corresponding IS document types installed with the WmFIXMessages 7.2 package. For more information about using custom fields, see Creating Custom Fields.
