Performing an Offline Upgrade

If you are upgrading from a TIBCO ActiveSpaces Release 2.0.x release to a 2.1.x release or higher, and you have implemented shared-nothing persistence, then after upgrading to the new release version, you must convert any shared-nothing persistence data files from your 2.0.x release to the newer format that is used with Release 2.1.x or higher.

On each ActiveSpaces node:

Procedure

  1. Stop all ActiveSpaces processes.
  2. Run the TIBCO Universal Installer and install ActiveSpaces <version> .
  3. If you have implemented shared-nothing persistence, and you are upgrading from a 2.0.x release, then run the as-convert utility to convert shared-nothing persistence data files to the release <version> format.

    See the as-convert utility section in the TIBCO ActiveSpaces Administration guide.

  4. Restart the ActiveSpaces processes.

Result

Note: Review the Release Notes for the new TIBCO ActiveSpaces version for changes to the API that might affect your applications. You will need to upgrade your applications to use the new API calls.
