PD² Archiving Utility v8.0 for SR18 Upgrade Guide 1 June 2021


1. Introduction

This document is designed to guide sites through the migration of the existing

configuration files, install of the packages, and update of the storage database for the PD2

Archiving Utility v8.0 for SR18. The installer is a wizard-based application designed to

install the webMethods packages and apply database scripts to the PD2 Storage Database.

1.1 Before Running the Installation

Prior to running the installation, verify the following:

Ensure that the environment meets the in the PD² v4.2 Increment 2 SR18 Hardware

Software Specifications.

The latest webMethods 10.5 update has been applied. Refer to the Instructions for

Installing webMethods Product Suite v10.5.

Sybase Open Client 16.0 has been installed. Refer to the PD2 v4.2 Increment 2 SR18

Sybase Open Client 16.0 SP03 PL09 Installation Guide for installation instructions.

The production database is at PD² v4.2 Increment 2 SR18.



2. Pre-Installation Instructions

2.1 Save Configuration Files

In order to maintain the previous configurations, save the configuration files from the

webMethods 10.1 installation now and restore them in Section 4.1: Restore

Configuration Files.

To save configuration files:

1. On the machine where webMethods 10.1 is installed, open a Microsoft Windows

Explorer window.

2. Create a new directory to store configuration files (e.g.,

C:\SaveArchivingUtility).

3. Navigate to the <WMDIR>\IntegrationServer\instances\< INST_NAME>\

packages, where <WMDIR> is the webMethods 10.1 installation directory and

<INST_NAME> is the Integration Server instance name.

4. Locate the ArchivingEnvConfig directory.

5. Inside the ArchivingEnvConfig directory, copy the ns directory to the directory

created in Step 2.

6. Navigate to the <WMDIR>\IntegrationServer\instances\< INST_NAME>\

\packages, where <WMDIR> is the webMethods 10.1 installation directory.

7. Locate the PD2ArchivingUtility directory.

8. Inside the PD2ArchivingUtility directory, copy the config directory to the

directory created in Step 2.

9. If the target Integration Server instance is installed on a different machine, create

a new directory (e.g., C:\SaveArchivingUtility ) on the target webMethods 10.5

machine and copy the saved configuration files from the directory created in Step

2 to the new directory.

2.2 Shut Down the Integration Server

To shut down the webMethods Integration Server:

1. Open Internet Explorer.

(An Internet Explorer window opens.)

2. In the Address field enter “http(s)://<webMethodsServerName>:<port>” where

<webMethodsServerName> and <port> is the actual webMethods server name

and port number.

(The authentication window opens.)

3. In the authentication window, enter the following information:

• User Name – Enter the user name “Administrator”



• Password – Enter the password for the Administrator user.

4. Click [OK].

(The webMethods Administrator page displays.)

5. Click the Shut Down and Restart link.

(The Server > Shutdown and Restart page displays.)

6. Select the Immediately radio button.

7. Click the [Shut Down] button.

(The shutdown confirmation message box displays.)

8. Click [OK].

(The Server shutdown is in progress message displays.)

2.3 Stop Broker Services

To stop the Software AG Broker Monitor service:

1. Navigate to the Microsoft Windows Services window.

(The Services window opens.)

2. In the Services window, locate the Software AG Broker Monitor 10.5 (port)

service in the Name column.

(The Software AG Broker Monitor 10.5 (port) service is displayed in the

Services window.)

3. Right-click the service name and select Stop from the menu.

(The Stop Other Services window opens.)

4. Click the [Yes] button to stop the webMethods Broker Server service when the

webMethods Broker Monitor service stops.

(The Status column is blank.)

5. Close the Services window.

(The Services window closes.)

2.4 Modify the Windows Service for webMethods Integration

Server

In a typical configuration of the application(s) in the SPS Product Suite the webMethods

Integration Server is running as a Windows service using a system account. In order for

the PDF generation in the PD2 Archiving Utility to work properly, the webMethods

Integration Server must be running using a local account so that the PDF generator can



successfully use the word automation. This local user account should be setup as a

member of the Administrators group.

The following steps should be executed to modify the Windows Service for webMethods

Integration Server if this was not done as part of the webMethods installation.

To modify the Windows Service for webMethods Integration Server to use a local

account:

1. From the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools → Computer

Management.

2. Select Services and Applications → Services.

3. Identify the Software AG Integration Server 10.5 (<instance_name>) service,

where <instance_name> is the Integration Server instance name on which the

PD2 Archiving Utility is to be installed.

4. Click the service to select it.

5. Right-click the selected service and select Properties.

6. Click the Log On tab.

7. Select the This Account radio button.

8. Enter the local user account name.

Note: If the local user account is part of a domain, the account should be entered as

<DomainName>\<LocalUserAccount>; otherwise, the account should be

entered as .\<LocalUserAccount>.

9. Enter the password for the local user account and enter it a second time to

confirm it.

10. Click [OK] to apply the changes.

2.5 List the Database Information

The following table (Table 1) lists the information necessary to successfully

complete the PD2 Archiving Utility upgrade. This table should be completed

before running the PD2 Archiving Utility - Database Upgrade installer program.

Table 1: Database Setup Parameters

Description Value

The name of the existing PD2 Storage database.

The name of the database server that contains the PD2 Storage database.

The IP address of the PD2 Storage database server.

The system administrator login (sa) and password for the PD2 Storage database server.



Description Value

The system administrator login (sa) and password for the PD2 Production database server.

2.6 Verify Existence of Microsoft Libraries

The PD² Archiving Utility - Database Upgrade Installer relies on certain Microsoft

libraries to function.

To verify the existence of Microsoft libraries:

1. On the machine where the PD² Archiving Utility database installer is to be

executed, open a command prompt window as the Administrator.

2. At the command prompt, execute:

"%SYBASE%\OCS-16_0\bin\instjava.exe" -v

3. Confirm that the installjava version is displayed.

ASE installjava/16.0 SP03 PL09/EBF 29245 SMP/P/AMD64/Windows 2008 R2

SP1/ase160sp03pl09x/0/64-bit/OPT/Wed Jul 15 09:10:35 2020

If “The system cannot execute the specified program” or “MSVCR110.dll is missing”

displays, the machine does not meet the requirement in the PD² v4.2 Increment 2 SR18

Hardware Software Specifications document.



3. Upgrading PD2 Archiving Utility
