Performing the BMC Atrium Core Web Services upgrade

The BMC Atrium Core installer upgrades BMC Atrium Core Web Services and the BMC Atrium Core Web Registry.

If BMC Atrium CMDB and BMC Atrium Core Web Services are on the same computer both are upgraded together. If BMC Atrium Core web services are on a different computer, you must upgrade BMC Atrium Core Web Services after you upgrade BMC Remedy AR System and upgrade BMC Atrium CMDB.

Before you begin

If you have not already done so, perform the tasks in Preparing for the BMC Atrium Core upgrade.

If you have not done so already, prepare the system to run the installers. If you want to run in nonadmin mode on Windows, see Preparing a Windows environment. If you want to run in nonroot mode on UNIX, see Preparing a UNIX environment.

Post upgrade steps: if upgraded from 9.0.00 or older versions

When you upgrade from 9.0.00 or an older version, the web services added to the registry in the older version are removed. You can restore the web services by using one of the following methods:

• Republish the web services to the 18.05 environment.
• The back up of the web services is created and stored at AtriumCore\BackUp\derby-db. After upgrading to Remedy 18.05, you can import the derby-db back up into your 18.05 environment by performing the following steps:

1. 1. Stop the Tomcat server that hosts the UDDI Registry Server.the 
   2. Navigate to the AtriumCore\shared\wsc\data\bmcuddi directory.
   3. If the derby-db/ directory exists, move it to another directory outside the <ATRIUMCORE_HOME>location, or rename it, such as derby-db.bak.
   4. Copy the AtriumCore\BackUp\derby-db  directory to AtriumCore\shared\wsc\data\bmcuddi
   5. Start the Tomcat server.
