Upgrading Content Manager server
Upgrade the Content Manager server by running the installer. You can also choose to run an unattended installation from the command line.
Before you begin
If you are upgrading from SDL Tridion 2009 SP1 on the same machine, ensure that you have uninstalled the Content Manager; if you are upgrading from SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 on the same machine, the installer will upgrade your installation for you.
Before you upgrade Content Manager Server:
- Stop IIS services to ensure that there are no active connections to the system. If connections to the database remain active, you will receive errors.
- Upgrade your Content Manager databases to SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
- Log on as an administrator user.
- Create a backup of your Content Manager and Transport Service license files.
- Ensure that you have system administration information and database details you entered during your initial installation of the Content Manager as you will be prompted to provide these during upgrade.
Procedure
Results
The installer installs the selected software components and creates a log file in subdirectory SDL\Tridion\Logs\ of the path indicated by the %PROGRAMDATA% environment variable (defaults to c:\ProgramData\).
