Primary Machine: Upgrading ActiveMatrix BPM

To upgrade ActiveMatrix BPM 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
