Changing the Component Enabler

You can upgrade a component created with version 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x, and 3.5.x of TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.

Warning: Back up your engines and time your upgrade activity such that the brief operational downtime has minimal impact.

Procedure

  1. On the TIBCO Silver Fabric Administrator Components page, locate the BusinessWorks component that you want to upgrade from release 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x, or 3.5.x. Use the Enabler Version column to identify out-of-date enablers.
  2. After you locate the component, select the component Actions menu icon associated with the row, select Change Enabler, select the enabler version upgrade target, and click OK
    .
    Note: You cannot downgrade a component.
  3. Click the component Actions menu icon again, click Publish Changes, and then click OK to publish the selected component.
  4. Switch to the Engines page. The stacks that used the upgraded component appear in red if they require a component restart.

    Click the Engine Actions menu icon that "Needs a Component Restart", then click Restart Component.  

    Restarting the Component

    The expected result of the component restart are determined by the values of the parameters DELETE_BW_APPLICATION_CONF_AT_SHUTDOWN and REDEPLOY_EAR_FILE_AT_STARTUP set during the basic configuration.
