Upgrading the repository

This topic describes how to use the GUI installation program to upgrade the repository. 

Before you begin

Before you upgrade the repository, go through the following considerations:

• If you are using an external BMC Remedy Single Sign-On instance, it must be installed and running.
• You must have shut down the repository service and it is recommended that you shut down the services for all peers in your environment (see Starting-and-stopping-product-components-and-services).
• You must have downloaded the installation files from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) website.
• You must ensure that the target computer meets the system requirements for your environment.
• You must be logged on as an administrator and have administrator rights on the computer where you will upgrade the repository.
• You must have exited all other programs.

• 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-upgrading).
• 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).
