Upgrading

TrueSight Server Automation provides a centralized upgrade UI for upgrading all TrueSight Server Automation components.

BMC recommends using the centralized UI in the unified product installer. It provides the individual component installers for operating systems that are not supported by the unified product installer. For a centralized upgrade of multiple product components, you can also choose to run the unified product installer in unattended (silent) mode.
