Ensure that the retention management job is not running. If the retention management job is running, you will see an incomplete System Event for the retention management job.
If the publication repository is used by applications other than
B2B Data Exchange
, you might lose data in the tables that are not managed by
B2B Data Exchange
when the upgrade is complete.
Ensure that the
dx.endpoint.file.prefix
property is empty.
This property is the landing zone path. Earlier releases of Data Integration Hub do not support this property. If this property value is not empty, then set it to an empty value.
Stop all
B2B Data Exchange
services. The
B2B Data Exchange
upgrade modifies the
B2B Data Exchange
files. The installer cannot proceed if the files are in use.
If the
B2B Data Exchange
Hadoop Service component is installed on a different machine than the machine where you installed
documents. In PowerCenter, stop all workflows that process
B2B Data Exchange

Unschedule all custom workflows in PowerCenter. In PowerCenter, unschedule all custom workflows and verify that they do not run until the upgrade is complete.

If the PowerCenter services are not installed on the same machine where
B2B Data Exchange
is installed and you have upgraded the pmrep command line utility after you installed the previous version of
B2B Data Exchange
, clean up all CNX files from the
Tmp
folder on your root directory.
If the Partners Portal was not installed on your system in previous versions and you want to install the portal when you upgrade to the new version, open ports to the portal in your firewall.
