Upgrading the ActiveMatrix BPM Application

To upgrade the ActiveMatrix BPM application, run the Upgrade TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance wizard on the primary machine.

Prerequisites

If you are running ActiveMatrix BPM 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 will fail.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the primary machine.
  2. Run TIBCO Configuration Tool.
  3. In the TIBCO Configuration Folder dialog, select the existing CONFIG_HOME folder of the ActiveMatrix BPM system that you want to upgrade, then click OK.
  4. Run the Edit ActiveMatrix BPM > Upgrade TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance wizard. Make sure that you complete the following screens/fields as shown.
