TIBCO iProcess® Engine 11.9.1

# Backing Up the TIBCO iProcess Engine File System

## Status

If you are... | This task is...
Installing a new iProcess Engine Version 11.8.0 | N/A
Upgrading from an iProcess Engine Version 11.0 or later | Required

## Database

Oracle, DB2

## Description

Warning | You must back up your iProcess Engine system before an upgrade. Make sure that you back up the entire `SWDIR` directory structure, and any other files you want to restore if a failure occurs during upgrade. The upgrade process has no undo capability. If it fails for any reason, you will require a full backup of your SWDIR file system to be able to restore your original iProcess Engine system. You must also back up your database schema. For detailed information, see Backing up TIBCO iProcess Engine Database Schema.

## Procedure

Complete the following steps to back up an existing iProcess Engine:

| 1. | Log in your operating system as the `root` user.

| 2. | Get all users to log out of the iProcess Engine.

| 3. | Run the following command to stop the iProcess Engine processes and Process Sentinels:

`$SWDIR``/bin/swstop` `$SWDIR``/bin/swstop -p`

| 4. | Back up the entire `$SWDIR` directory structure and any other files that you want to restore if an installation failure occurs by using your operating system backup utility.

Note | If you have made any changes to the following files since they were installed, you need to manually re-implement those changes after upgrading the iProcess Engine:
| • | `SWDIR``\config\ipac.properties`
| • | `SWDIR``\config\log4j.properties`
| • | `$SWDIR``\etc\iapjms_classpath.properties`
| • | `$SWDIR``\etc\iapjms_log4j.properties`
| • | `$SWDIR``\etc\swjmx_log4j.properties`
| • | `SWDIR``\etc\language.lng\staffico`
| • | `SWDIR``\etc\language.lng\auditusr.mes`
This is because the files are overwritten during the upgrade and any changes to the original files are not automatically merged into the new files. See Re-implementing Changes to Upgraded Configuration Files for more information.
