Network Deployment (Distributed operating systems), v8.0 > Reference > Command-line utilities

clientUpgrade command

Use the clientUpgrade command to migrate previous versions of client resources to v8 level resources.

Use the clientUpgrade command to migrate Version 6.x and v7 client resources to v8 level resources. In the process of migrating these resources, the client-resources.xmi file that is located in the client JAR files is migrated to the latest level. A backup of the client-resources.xmi file is also located in the client JAR file. If this command is not launched against the client EAR files before they are installed on Version 8, the client EAR files do not operate or install correctly.

Locate the command file in...

WAS_HOME/bin

(AIX) (Solaris)

clientUpgrade.sh EAR_file [-clientJar client_jar ][-logFileLocation logFileLocation]
[-traceString trace_spec [-traceFile file_name ]]

(Windows)

clientUpgrade.bat EAR_file [-clientJar client_jar ][-logFileLocation logFileLocation]
[-traceString trace_spec [-traceFile file_name ]]

Parameters

Supported arguments include the following:

EAR_file

Use this parameter to specify the fully qualified path to the EAR file that contains client JAR files to process.

-clientJar

Use this optional parameter to specify a JAR file for processing. If not specified, the program transforms all client JAR files in the EAR file.

-logFileLocation log_file_location

Use this optional parameter to specify an alternate location to store the log output.

-traceString trace_spec -traceFile file_name

Use these optional parameters to gather trace information for IBM Service personnel. Specify a trace_spec of "*=all=enabled" (with quotation marks) to gather all trace information.
