# 3 Upgrading to Agile PLM 9.3.3

## 3.1 Overview

Agile PLM 9.3.3 is a full install that can be distributed over a wide-area network with multiple servers, or it can be limited to a single server with several client computers.

Important: Before upgrading to Agile PLM 9.3.3, read through this entire chapter and the Readme for the latest information. For information about optional upgrade services, contact Oracle Support.:

Note: All folder names and paths show the default settings provided during installation. Your system structure may be different if folder names or paths were changed during the installation.

## 3.2 Upgrading the Agile Database

The Agile database must be upgraded before installing and deploying the Agile application server. Refer to the Agile PLM Database Upgrade Guide for details about upgrading to the Agile PLM 9.3.3 database.

## 3.3 Upgrading the Agile Application

Because it is a full install, you should uninstall your previous version of Agile PLM before installing Agile PLM 9.3.3.

Agile PLM 9.3.3 also requires a specific version of the application server. Make sure the supported application server is installed before running the Agile PLM 9.3.3 installer.

Important: Do not install into the same sub-directory used by the previous installation of Agile PLM, unless you have removed any previous installation. Always install Agile PLM in a fresh directory.

## 3.4 Upgrading the File Vault

If you are upgrading to Agile PLM 9.3.3 from a version prior to 9.2, the file vault structure must be reorganized. In previous versions of Agile, files were stored in the <iFS Root> or files directory. In later versions, files are stored in separate directories based on a file ID. All existing files must be reorganized to conform to the newer design specifications. If you have an existing iFS or Distributed File Manager configuration, you must reorganize the files on each file server.

To reorganize existing files:

1. Backup all existing Agile file vaults to a safe location before upgrading any component to Agile PLM 9.3.3.

2. After you have copied all files into a backup directory, install the new File Manager.

3. Copy any files that you backed up into the File Manager Storage Location you specified during the File Manager installation.

4. Go to the AGILE_HOME\agileDomain\tools\ directory.

5. Run the iFSReorgV2 utility. For information on how to run the iFSReorgV2 utility, see iFS Reorg on page 34.

6. After the program completes, the reorganization summary information displays.

7. Go to Configuring the File Manager to configure the new file manager with the upgraded file vault information and to validate the installation was successful.
