Installation and Upgrade › Upgrading to Release 13.3 › Preserving Your File Directory Customizations

Preserving Your File Directory Customizations

During the upgrade, you are prompted for the target installation directory. New preupgrade and postupgrade steps let you copy files to and from the CA Clarity PPM directory using ant-based scripting. Use ant scripts to automate preserving and restoring customization in the CA Clarity PPM directories.

Templates are provided in release-specific upgrade folders that are located in the installer root directory (at the same level as the install.bat file). The templates are: preprocess-upgrade.xml and postprocess-upgrade.xml.

Example of preprocess-upgrade.xml script

<project name="content" default="upgrade" basedir=".">
  <target name="upgrade">
    <echo>Preserving customer specified files prior to upgrade from install.dir = ${install.dir}</echo>
    <if fileexists="${install.dir}" not="true">
      <fail>Install dir not specified = ${install.dir}</fail>
    </if>
    <delete dir="upgrade_temp"/>
    <mkdir dir="upgrade_temp" />
    <!-- Uncomment the copy below and list the files to be included for preservation -->
    <!--<copy todir="upgrade_temp">
      <fileset dir="${install.dir}" >
		<include name="myfiles/my*.*"/>
		<include name="abb/*01.jar"/>
     	 <include name="a*01.jar"/>
		 </fileset>
    </copy>-->

  </target>
</project>

Example of postprocess-upgrade.xml script

<project name="content" default="upgrade" basedir=".">
  <target name="upgrade">
    <echo>Restoring customer specified files after upgrade to install.dir = ${install.target.dir}</echo>
    <if fileexists="${install.target.dir}" not="true">
      <fail>Install dir not specified = ${install.target.dir}</fail>
    </if>
    <!-- Uncomment the copy task below and list the files to be restored that were preserved in
    the preprocess-upgrade.xml script.-->
    <!--<copy todir="${install.target.dir}">
      <fileset dir="upgrade_temp" >
		<include name="myfiles/my*.*"/>
		<include name="abb/*01.jar"/>
     	 <include name="a*01.jar"/>
	  </fileset>
    </copy>-->
