Create Broker Server 9.6 and Use the Old Storage
1. Back up the old data directory.
2. Go to the old_Software AG_directory\Broker\bin directory and back up the old awbrokermon.cfg file.
3. Open the awbrokermon.cfg file and note the location of the old data directory as specified on the dataDir parameter.
4. Stop the old Broker Server, go to the old_Software AG_directory\Broker\bin directory, and run this command:
server_config remove full_path_to_old_data_directory
When asked whether to remove the Broker Server from the Broker Monitor configuration, enter Y.
5. If you need to copy the data directory to a new location (for example, because the old and new webMethods Broker installations are on different machines), do the following:
a. Copy the old data directory to the new location. If any storage files were located outside the data directory (for example, .stor and .data files), also copy those files.
b. On the 9.9 machine, open a command window or shell, go to the 9.9_Software AG_directory\Broker\bin directory, and run the command below. If you copied old storage files in the previous step, specify the qs_map_file parameter for each file.
server_config relocate full_path_to_new_data_directory
[-qs_map_file full_path_to_old_file full_path_to_new_file]
6. Create a Broker Server 9.6. On the 9.9 machine, open a command window or shell, go to the 9.9_Software AG_directory\Broker\bin directory, and run the command below. Broker Server 9.6 details are automatically added to the Broker Monitor 9.6 startup configuration. Make sure the host name and port number for Broker Server 9.6 are the same as they were for the old Broker Server.
server_config add full_path_to_old_data_directory -k 9.6_license_file
-p old_release_port
7. Make sure Broker Server 9.6 is running as follows:
System | Steps |
Windows | a. Open the Windows Services window and make sure the status of the Software AG Broker Server 9.6(port) service is Started. b. Right-click the service and click Properties. Make sure the Path to Executable field points to the awbroker file for 9.6. |
UNIX | a. Run the command ps -ef | grep awbroker, which prints all running Broker processes including the path to the executable. Make sure the output text shows a line like this: full_path_to_9.9_Software AG_directory/Broker/bin/awbroker -d full_path_to_old_data_directory b. Make sure the awbroker process is running and that it is running from the 9.6 awbroker file. |
