If you are upgrading one environment using Command Central, you can to create ZIP files of the old installations from Command Central or create them yourself as described in the next section.

If you are using composite templates to automate the upgrade, Command Central automatically creates a ZIP file of each old installation directory. The ZIP file includes all files except .log files. If you want to decrease the size of the ZIP file, see the table in the next section for the commands that will include only the required files for each product in the ZIP file.
