Upgrading REST Binding Type

REST BT is integrated with the ActiveMatrix Platform Application by default and is not required to be installed separately.

The upgrade process handles the add-on REST BT as follows:

  1. The add-on REST BT product features are disabled and removed from all nodes and hosts before upgrade.

  2. While upgrading the SystemNode or the Administrator node, REST BT Administrator Plugin is provisioned. This can be verified from the ActiveMatrix Administrator > Admin Configuration > Plug-ins UI screen after upgrading to 3.4.0.

  3. The following REST BT system applications that are installed by the REST BT add-On are removed from all the nodes:
    1. com.tibco.amx.bt.rest.Application.admin
    2. com.tibco.amx.bt.rest.Application

      The following screen shot shows that the above REST BT system applications that were available in 3.3.0 were removed after the upgrade.

    REST BT will be available when the platform application is upgraded. REST BT (binding.rest) is now available as a component in the com.tibco.amx.platform system application. This can be verified from the components list screen of the application.

  4. All the user and system applications that are using REST BT will be automatically updated to depend on the platform application.
  5. ActiveMatrix Administrator, when started for the first time after upgrading SystemNode or Administrator node, automatically updates the database to reflect the changes made in the runtime. For example, REST BT system applications are removed from the database and all REST BT applications are updated to depend on the platform application.
