The pre-upgrade tasks are essentially a backup and uninstallation of the old Content Manager version. You should always make a complete backup of both project and database before upgrading so you can restore to the current environment if necessary.
Note:
- Before beginning the upgrade it is recommended that you warn all users that the system will be temporarily unavailable.
- No updates should be allowed beyond this point in time.
- You should plan to copy the whole of the Content Manager environment to a secure destination.
- The whole of the Content Manager environment includes all Content Manager websites, Content Manager website components, the Full Text Collection, the database backup(s), and the Content Manager registry keys.
- Identify and plan to backup any custom files and information in the same way.
- Remember all
Trisoft COM+ Applications and all Virtual Directories will have to be removed as well.
