Configure WebSphere for the Upgrade

An upgrade on WebSphere may fail due to disk space errors or timeout errors. Perform the following steps to ensure that your upgrade succeeds on WebSphere.

1. Save any changes to the WebSphere configuration via the Administrative Console (Save to Master Configuration).
2. Shut down the application server.
3. Remove the contents of the following folders:
   • Temp Directory:
     • Windows: %temp%
     • Unix: /tmp/*
   • Websphere_home/profiles/WAS_PROFILE/temp/*
   • Websphere_home/profiles/WAS_PROFILE/wstemp/*
   • Websphere_home/profiles/WAS_PROFILE/tranlog/*
   • Websphere_home/profiles/WAS_PROFILE/config/*
   • Websphere_home/deploytool/itp/configuration/org.*, leaving only config.ini in this directory if it exists.
4. In the Websphere_home/profiles/WAS_PROFILE/properties/soap.client.props file, set com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout to 1800 or higher.

Note: For more information, see your WebSphere documentation.
