# Upgrading From a Release Prior to 8207.27 to Release 8207.27 or Higher

If you are upgrading from a release that did not support the Golden Key (in which you needed to supply a license key in order to install the server) to a release that supports the Golden Key (in which you do not need a license key in order to install the server), you may need to perform a one-time prerequisite step.

In Release 8207.27 and higher, the only type of server that can be installed is a WebFOCUS Reporting Server. This server provides all of the functionality that was available in prior releases for a Full Function Server or ibi Data Migrator Server. A WebFOCUS Reporting Server requires a configuration directory named wfs directly under the server installation root directory.

If you install an ibi Data Migrator Server, you have a directory named dm instead of wfs. If you installed a Full Function Server, you have a directory named ffs instead of wfs.

1. In TSO, edit member EDAENV that is in your current configuration directory (either ffs or dm), for example:

       srvhlq.FFS.DATA(EDAENV)

   or

       srvhlq.DM.DATA(EDAENV)

   where:

   srvhlq

   Is the high-level qualifier for your server installation directory, for example, IBI.SERVER.SRV93.

   Change the configuration directory path. For example, assume your EDAENV member has the following entry

       EDACONF=/ibi/server/srv93/ffs

   or

       EDACONF=/ibi/server/srv93/dm

   Change ffs or dm to wfs and save the file.

       EDACONF=/ibi/server/srv93/wfs

2. Exit TSO, and go to your server installation directory under USS. You can issue the OMVS command to enter the USS environment.

   For example, if your server installation directory is /ibi/server/srv93, issue the following command:

       cd /ibi/server/srv93

3. Copy your existing configuration directory to a new configuration directory named wfs, using the following command.

   For a Full Function Server:

       cp -R ffs wfs

   For an ibi Data Migrator Server:

       cp -R dm wfs

After you have completed and tested the upgrade, you can delete the original ffs or dm directory.
