Chapter 2 Creating a TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for ActiveMatrix Service Grid Stack : Applying a Service Pack or Hotfix to ActiveMatrix Service Grid

Applying a Service Pack or Hotfix to ActiveMatrix Service Grid
When a Service Pack upgrade or hot fix becomes available for your existing ActiveMatrix Administrator and Runtime instances you can easily update them using TIBCO Silver Fabric.
Contact your TIBCO Support representative to get the appropriate gridlib archive files or download the appropriate Service Pack from the edelivery.com before using this upgrade application procedure.
Applying a Service Pack or Hotfix to an Enabler for ActiveMatrix Service Grid
Once you have the appropriate gridlib archives put copies of those files onto the TIBCO Silver Fabric Broker.

After the patch has been applied (this can take significant amount of time due to upload delivery speeds into expanded archive directories) you can verify the upgrade was successful by checking the TIBCO Silver Fabric Engine log. The Engine log will show that the gridlib package is delivered and unzipped in the directory:
 
   /[Engine_Home]/work/[Engine_instanceName]/fabric/patch-[index]
 
9.
To ensure that Component configuration or Enabler upgrade changes are properly applied to existing Components published and running on TIBCO Silver Fabric, the TIBCO Host and Components must be restarted.
After restart of the Component the Service Pack (or Hotfix) is applied.
