Upgrading Web Services Stack from a Previous Version

For details on upgrading earlier version of Web Services Stack version 8, see the webMethods Upgrade Guide distributed with the webMethods documentation package on the Software AG Installer and posted on the Software AG Documentation Web site.

This document provides information on the following topics:


Upgrading from Web Services Stack Version 1.2

Web Services Stack ver. 8.x does not upgrade Web Services Stack 1.2. The two versions can co-exist on the same machine.

For example, if you install a product that uses Web Services Stack 8.0.1 on a machine with an installation of Web Services Stack 1.2 (installed previously with another Software AG product), both versions co-exist independently.
