Primary Machine: Upgrading the ActiveMatrix Host Instance and ActiveMatrix Administrator

To upgrade the ActiveMatrix host instance and ActiveMatrix Administrator on the primary machine, run the Upgrade TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance wizard on the primary machine.

Procedure

  1. If you are running on a Windows platform, make sure that the TIBCO Host configuration folder, or any sub-folder or file in this folder’s hierarchy, is not currently locked by Windows. This folder is:
    CONFIG_HOME\tibcohost\Admin-ActiveMatrixEnterpriseName-ActiveMatrixServerName

    For example, a folder is locked if it is displayed in Windows Explorer or if a command shell is open with the folder as the current directory.

    Note: If a folder or file in this hierarchy is locked, the Upgrade ActiveMatrix TIBCO Host Instance configuration task will fail.
  2. In TIBCO Configuration Tool, click Edit ActiveMatrix BPM > Upgrade TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance.
  3. In the wizard, make sure that you complete the following screens/fields as shown.
    Screen Requirement

    2. In the ActiveMatrix BPM Upgrade Details section, enter the Application Name and Environment Name of the BPM system that you want to upgrade.
    ActiveMatrix BPM Upgrade: Summary
    1. Select the following options:
      • Upgrade ActiveMatrix TIBCO Host Instance
      • Upgrade ActiveMatrix Administrator
    2. Clear the following options (if they are present):
      • Upgrade Nodes Hosting ActiveMatrix BPM Instance
      • Upgrade ActiveMatrix BPM Instance Application
        Note: If the BPM system does not contain any remote machines (that host a BPM node but not an ActiveMatrix Administrator server), you can instead select these options, allowing you to upgrade ActiveMatrix BPM as part of the same operation - see ActiveMatrix BPM Upgrade: Summary on Primary Machine: Upgrading ActiveMatrix BPM for more information.
    3. Click Configure.

Result

TIBCO Configuration Tool:

  • upgrades SystemHost to the new version of the ActiveMatrix platform.
  • upgrades ActiveMatrix Administrator to the new version.
