Understanding the Active Upgrade Console Interface
If you are creating or editing a configuration file, you can click any entry in the Configuration section to skip directly to the associated configuration page. These pages have the following purposes:
Configuration — Allows you to create or select a configuration file to modify, or to start the upgrade process with no configuration file. (When you start the Active Upgrade console, it opens on this page.)
•Disk Selection — Allows you to select the disks that contain the software you want to upgrade.
•Other Configurations — Allows you to select other configuration files to incorporate into the current configuration.
•Application Services — Allows you to select the application services that need to be stopped and restarted during the upgrade process.
•Log File Backup — Allows you to select the event log (.evt) files from the Production Side that the Active Upgrade console preserves upon merging the system. (Otherwise, any event messages generated on the Production Side while the system is in split mode are lost when you commit the upgrade).
•Custom Actions — Allows you to specify executable files that the Active Upgrade console can use to stop and start your applications (or to perform special tasks) during the upgrade process.
•Description — Allows you to specify a title and comments for the current configuration file.
•Upgrade Summary — Displays a summary of the current upgrade configuration, and allows you to save the current configuration file.
