TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator 2.4.2

# Upgrade

The steps to upgrade are similar to the steps listed in the Installation section of the guide. You can install 2.4.2 in the same TIBCO_HOME or select a different TIBCO_HOME. You can optionally choose a configuration folder to store the configuration related data. Assuming that TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME is used to represent the configuration folder selected, the default location of the configuration related data is TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME\tibco\cfgmgmt\tea.

Warning: Before installing the latest version of TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, ensure that you back up the content of the previous version.

You must perform the steps mentioned in the following sections to migrate TIBCO Enterprise Administrator database and TIBCO Security Server database from earlier version to version 2.4.2:

- Migrating TIBCO Enterprise Administrator Database from Earlier Version to Version 2.4.2
- Migrating TIBCO Security Server Database from Earlier Version to Version 2.4.2

When you install TIBCO Enterprise Administrator in an existing TIBCO_HOME, the universal installer does not prompt for a TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME. This is because the universal installer associates TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME with a TIBCO_HOME.

The TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME location can be different from the one you are currently using. If so, to avoid re-registering agents, start the server with the existing`data`, `conf`, and `log` locations. The following shows the different ways of starting the server based on the location of the configuration folder:

Scenario | How to Start the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server
--- | ---
To start the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server with a different `data` folder. | Unix ./tea -data <location of the data folder> Windows tea.exe -data <location of the data folder>
To start the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server with a different `conf` folder. | Unix ./tea -conf <location of the conf folder> Windows tea.exe -conf <location of the conf folder>
To start the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server with a different `logs` folder. | Unix ./tea -logs <location of the logs folder> Windows tea.exe -logs <location of the logs folder>

Note: As an alternative, you can pass these parameters from the command line to override the ones set in the`tea.tra` file.
