Upgrading an AP from 7.6.03
This topic describes how to use the GUI installation program to upgrade an activity peer (AP). During an AP upgrade, you can also upgrade the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Operator Control Panel.
Before you begin
- You must have upgraded the primary configuration distribution peer (CDP).
- If you are using an external BMC Remedy Single Sign-On instance, it must be installed and running.
- The repository and the primary CDP must be running.
- You must shut down the AP service (see Starting and stopping product components and services).
- You must have downloaded the installation files from the BMC EPD website.
- You must have completed the AP worksheet for upgrades from 7.6.03.
- You have logged on as an administrator and have administrator rights on the computer where you will upgrade the AP.
- If you are upgrading on a Windows computer, ensure that data execution prevention (DEP) is configured to recognize the installation program executable (see Configuring DEP on Windows computers before upgrades).
- Ensure that you have made copies of server.xml and broker-config.xml files and stored them in a safe location (see Backing up server.xml and broker-config.xml files).
- If you are upgrading on a Linux computer, run the rngd service to ensure that the system has adequate entropy (Run the rngd service on Linux computers before upgrades).
- You must have exited all other programs.
