### 12.2.4. Transferring the EKM Configuration to EKM 18.2

After installing the new EKM 18.2 server, you must transfer the EKM server configuration from the existing EKM 18.0 or 18.1 server to the new EKM 18.2 server by following the steps below.

1. Compare the existing EKM 18.0 or 18.1 server configuration file: EKM_HOME180/conf/ekm.xml or EKM_HOME181/conf/ekm.xml with the EKM_HOME182/conf/ekm.xml file in the new EKM 18.2 server.

2. Edit the ekm.xml file in the new EKM 18.2 server and transfer any necessary configuration settings from the existing EKM 18.0 or 18.1 server.

   Important: Do not copy the ekm.xml file from the existing EKM 18.0 or 18.1 server into the new EKM 18.2 server, as this may cause unexpected errors.

3. Transfer any other modified configuration from the existing EKM 18.0 or 18.1 server to the new EKM 18.2 server.

   For example, to upgrade built-in job templates:

   1. As an `admin` user, sign in to the upgraded EKM server, then navigate to Administration > Shared Applications.

   2. Select an Upload action, then navigate to the EKM_HOME\conf\job templates folder of the EKM 18.2 server installation. Upload the following files:

      - CFX Batch.jt.xml

      - Electronics Batch.jt.xml

      - Fluent Batch.jt.xml

      - LS-DYNA Batch.jt.xml

      - MAPDL Batch.jt.xml

   3. Edit each template that you uploaded to assign it the appropriate UI resources. For example, you would do the following for the CFX Launcher template:

      1. Select the CFX Batch.jt.xml file and select Edit > Job Template.

      2. In the Edit Job Template dialog box, select the UI tab, then click Browse.

      3. Navigate to the EKM_HOME\conf\job templates\CFX Batch folder of the EKM 18.2 server installation, then select the CFX Batch.zip file to assign the UI resources to the template.

      4. Ensure that the Macro name for custom UI creation is set to `init`.

      5. Click OK.

      Note: On the Applications menu, each of these job templates will be displayed with the standard batch job icon rather than a product-specific icon.
