Upgrading smarttarget_conf.xml if you are upgrading from SmartTarget 2014 SP1

The smarttarget_conf.xml file has changed between SmartTarget 2014 SP1 and Experience Optimization 8.5. Use a migration tool to migrate the file.

Procedure

  1. Back up the smarttarget_conf.xml configuration file in your configuration location; for example, create a copy of the file called smarttarget_conf_old.xml.
  2. Open a command prompt.
  3. Access the SDL Web installation media.
  4. Access the Migration\ directory.
  5. Run the configuration_upgrade.jar using the following command:
    java -jar configuration_upgrade.jar "/PATH/smarttarget_conf.xml"
    where PATH specifies the location to your smarttarget_conf.xml file.

    The tool creates a smarttarget_conf.xml.upgraded file containing old settings migrated to a new file.

  6. Open smarttarget_conf.xml.upgraded in a text editor and check the migrated settings.
  7. Save your smarttarget_conf.xml.upgraded file as smarttarget_conf.xml.
