Upgrading to a New Version

When upgrading the TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX installation from an earlier version, you can run the install script and the output is similar with the regular installation.

For information on other points to consider before upgrading to the new version, see Considerations for Upgrading section.

    Procedure
  1. On the command line, navigate to the installation directory.
  2. Run the install script by using the following command.
     ./install
  3. Type Y to reinstall TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX.
    If you type N or n here, the installer prompts you to remove the directory where you want to install TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX first and try the installation again.
  4. Type R or r to restore your old configuration files.
    If you type N or n, your old configuration files are backed up and placed in a folder called $CFROOT/BACKUP_CONFIG.
    The installation proceeds as the regular installation after this step. For more information, see from Step 5e in Installing in Console Mode.
    Note: TIBCO MFT Platform Server versions till V8.0.0 installed the executable programs in the $CFROOT directory. After V8.0.0, the executable programs are installed in the $CFROOT/bin directory.
