Upgrading an Application across Nodes

When an application has been deployed on more than one node and the application is created with a Manual distribution mode, the Rolling Upgrade tab is enabled. Use this tab to selectively upgrade the application on the available nodes.

If all nodes run the current version of the application, the Rolling Upgrade tab is not editable and displays the version of the application template in use.

Procedure

  1. Click Applications and select an application from the list.
  2. If the new template does not exist in the repository, in the General tab click Upload DAA or EAR to upload a DAA containing a new version of the application.
  3. Click Browse and select a DAA file.
    The DAA file is validated.
  4. If the DAA is not uploaded click the More details link to see the errors.
  5. After you have resolved any errors, select the features to import and click Save.
    A dialog box displays the effects of updating the application template to the new version.
  6. Choose an action based on whether you want to continue the process of upgrading the application.
    • Save - Continues the process of upgrading the application.
    • Cancel - Does not upload the new version of the application template.
    • Click Print Preview to print the displayed information.
  7. Click the Rolling Upgrade tab.
    The nodes to which this application is deployed are listed.
  8. Check the checkboxes for the nodes on which you want to upgrade the application.
    The application is upgraded on the selected nodes.
