Chapter 4 Creating and Deploying Applications : Upgrading an Application

Upgrading an Application

If you have installed a new version of TIBCO software on a machine that is part of your administration domain, and the software is used in one or multiple applications, you can use the Upgrade feature to enable the applications to use the upgraded software.

The Upgrade feature remaps properties in the property files of the process engines to use the new software targets. The upgrade operation is not reversible. That is, you cannot revert to using the previous software version after upgrading.

You must redeploy your applications after upgrading.

The next diagram shows the dialog that displays when upgrading software.

To upgrade an application, perform the following procedure:

1.

Click Application Management.

2.

Click ApplicationName > Configuration, where ApplicationName is the application you wish to upgrade

3.

In the Configuration panel, click Upgrade.

4.

Select Deploy after upgrade to redeploy your application as part of the upgrade. You can redeploy later, if necessary.

5.

Select Start successfully deployed services to deploy and start your service instances and process engines. If Deploy after upgrade is not selected, this option is not available.

6.

Select the software to upgrade.

7.

Review the upgrade summary.

8.

Click OK.

Validate your project and rebuild the EAR file before upgrading to a newer version of BusinessWorks.
