Deploying IBM Connections Docs 2.0 CR3Welcome to the IBM Connections Docs 2.0 CR3 documentation, where you can find information about installing and deploying IBM Docs 2.0 CR3. IBM Docs is a collaborative productivity suite that enables you to work on documents, spreadsheets and presentations together in the cloud. If you have IBM Docs 2.0, IBM Docs 2.0 CR1, or CR2 already installed, to install CR3, you only need to download the IBM Docs 2.0 CR3 zip package from FixCentral and extract the package. Then follow the instructions in the PDF file to install CR3.

About this task

Make sure you upgrade databases when upgrading to 2.0 following instructions in Upgrading the database.

We have added new configuration items in the cfg.properties and cfg.node.properties files under the new installation package. Upgrading scripts will use the cfg.properties and cfg.node.properties files installed by previous version of IBM Docs. Therefore, before upgrading, make sure all newly added items are configured properly, added to the cfg.properties and cfg.node.properties files installed by previous version of IBM Docs.

Follow steps in Installing the IBM Docs components using the scripts, extract new IBM Docs installation package to C:\install\Docs or /opt/install/Docs.
