Extracting the 8.0 Domain Manager’s Properties
To extract the properties of the 8.0 Domain Manager:
Phases of Upgrades from Sonic 8.0 to Sonic 8.5
1. Open a console window to the 8.5_install_root/MQ8.5/bin location.
2. Enter:
upgradeProps -url conn -d domain -u user -p pwd -f file -rt secs /ds_path
where:
■ -url is a connection URL on the Sonic 8.0 management broker
Note ● For a SonicMQ Development or Domain Manager upgrade, the Sonic 8.0
connection URL is in the form protocol://host:port, where a default
installation would use tcp://localhost:2506.
● For a Sonic Workbench upgrade, the Sonic 8.0 connection is a direct access
to the stopped Directory Service—the installation path to the Directory
Service boot file, typically
sonic8_install_dir\Containers\Domain1.DomainManagerL/ds.xml.
■ -d is the domain name. The default value is Domain1.
■ -u is an administrative user (typically, Administrator)
■ -p is the administrative user’s password (optional if security is not enabled)
(For a Sonic Workbench upgrade, enter the ds.xml password if it is encrypted.)
■ -f is a preferred output file name (default is upgrade.properties)
■ -rt is the number of seconds that the script will wait to invoke a methods on the
Directory Service before timing out. (default is 60 seconds)
■ /ds_path is the Directory Service location of the container that hosts the
Directory Service in the 8.0 domain (typically, /Containers/DomainManager)
The process runs, creating a text file in the 8.5_install_root/MQ8.5/bin folder named
upgrade.properties (or the name you specified in the -f parameter) which contains the
Version 8 license keys you entered and the explicit file system path to the Domain
Manager’s management container.
