Updating ActiveMatrix Administrator

Updating ActiveMatrix Administrator does not involve any manual steps and is triggered automatically when the Administrator node or System Node is started after the downgrade process is complete.

Updating ActiveMatrix Administrator involves:

  1. ActiveMatrix Administrator needs to be running and downgraded last. All other hosts and nodes need to be downgraded and restarted before downgrading ActiveMatrix Administrator.
  2. A runtime host needs to be restarted to complete downgrade. After the ActiveMatrix Administrator receives a notification from the runtime host, ActiveMatrix Admininistrator updates the host version accordingly.

    1. Node version
    2. Downgrading platform application to the previous version.

      To verify, select the platform application from the ActiveMatrix Administrator UI. In the Description field, the platform application description is updated to reflect the version.
