Upgrading Runtime Hosts of Remote Machines

Upgrade the runtime hosts on each remote machine used by the ActiveMatrix BPM system that you want to upgrade.

Prerequisites

If you are running the ActiveMatrix Administrator server 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 remote machine.
  2. Run TIBCO Configuration Tool.
  3. In the TIBCO Configuration Folder dialog, select the CONFIG_HOME folder for the ActiveMatrix BPM system that you want to upgrade, then click OK.
  4. Run the Edit ActiveMatrix BPM > Upgrade or Downgrade TIBCO ActiveMatrix wizard. Make sure that you complete the following screens/fields as shown.
