Upgrading ActiveMatrix Policy Director Administrative and Proxy Host Services

Perform the following steps to apply the service pack on the existing configuration:

Procedure

  1. Shut down all TIBCO Host instances hosting TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Administrator.
  2. Extract the service pack archive file to a temporary directory.
  3. Invoke the TIBCO Universal Installer, selecting the existing <TIBCO_HOME> to which the service pack needs to be applied.
  4. In the Installation Profile Selection screen, select one or more of the preconfigured profiles, or click Customize Installation and explicitly select the components you want to install. In this case, TIBCO Active Matrix Policy Director Service Pack-001 and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Proxy Host Service Pack-001. Click Next. The following profiles are preconfigured:
    Option Description
    TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Governance Agent for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Installs the TIBCO BusinessWorks governance component, which allows users to set up the rules using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks activities. You must install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks before you can install this component.
    Proxy Host Configures a proxy host for use with your TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director governance solution. You can either configure a proxy host for an existing run time host (TIBCO Host), or you can choose to create a TIBCO Host instance.
    TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Service Pack-001 You can choose to install one or all of the following:
    1. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Services
    2. Governance Agent for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks
    3. Proxy Host
    4. TIBCO Admistrator Plug-in for TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director
  5. Shut down related TIBCO processes if the installer prompts you to do so. The installer prompts if the features are already installed on the target system. Reinstalling features is not usually recommended.
  6. In the Pre-Install summary screen, verify the list of products selected for installation, and click Install.
    1. When the installation is complete, click Finish.
  7. At the command prompt, change directory to <TIBCO_HOME>/amx/3.2/bin.
  8. For the TIBCO Host instance that you want to update:
    1. Run the following commands:
      tibamx_patchmgr applyPatch -configHomeLocation <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>
      -instanceName <instanceName> -ID amx.platform.patch:3.2.0.HF4    
      
      tibamx_patchmgr applyPatch -configHomeLocation <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>
      -instanceName <instanceName> -ID governance.ogp.patch:1.0.100
            
      tibamx_patchmgr applyPatch -configHomeLocation <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>
      -instanceName <instanceName> -ID governance.pd.patch:1.0.100
      	  
      NOTE: The step mentioned above is NOT required for the following 
            features:
            - TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director Proxy Host Service Pack-001
      
      For Proxy Hosts, run:
      tibamx_patchmgr applyPatch -configHomeLocation <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>
      -instanceName <instanceName> -ID amx.platform.patch:3.2.0.HF4  
      
      tibamx_patchmgr applyPatch -configHomeLocation <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>
      -instanceName <instanceName> -ID governance.psm.patch:1.0.100
    2. Restart TIBCO Host instances.
    Note: In the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Director, when you view a node on which the patch is applied, the following dashboard screens will not reflect the latest versions of the features installed in this service pack:
    • "Infrastructure > Nodes > Configuration > Features"
    • "Infrastructure > Software Management > Features"

    The inconsistency is expected. Do not perform any actions on the node to correct it.

  9. To determine the patch level of all the nodes managed by a TIBCO host instance, use the "describeAppliedPatches" command in tibamx_patchmgr.
    1. At the command prompt, change directory to TIBCO_HOME>/amx/3.2/bin.
    2. Run tibamx_patchmgr describeAppliedPatches.
  10. Run tibcohost describeHost to list patches applied on the selected instances.
