Upgrading IBM Business Automation Workflow

You can install upgrades to IBM Business Automation Workflow when they are available. You can also upgrade your configuration, perform a rolling upgrade, or make other changes.

Before you begin

Visit the IBM Support website to check for available fix packs and interim fixes.
Restrictions:
  • IBM Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3 does not support the z/OS operating system and does not support 32-bit operating systems. If you are running on a 32-bit system and want to upgrade, you must either perform artifact migration as described in Migrating artifacts to IBM Business Automation Workflow or contact IBM service for help to migrate to IBM Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3 on a 64-bit operating system.
  • If your source environment was configured in IBM Business Process Manager to use an external Content Platform Engine or system for the IBM BPM document object store by running the setBPMExternalECM -ecmEnvironment command with the REASSIGN_OBJECT_STORE or REASSIGN_DOMAIN parameter, then after you upgrade, the document object store will still be supported in the same way. The new IBM Business Automation Workflow case manager capability will not be supported, because it can only use a Content Platform Engine that is created with the NEW_EXTERNAL_OBJECT_STORE parameter.
Important: When you upgrade to a fix pack, the Heritage Process Portal application is replaced in your profiles. If you previously added any customizations to the process application in Process Designer (for example, an IBM Connections server or an IBM Sametime server), and you still want to use those servers, you must complete the following tasks:
  1. Define the servers again in the fix pack version of the Heritage Process Portal application.
  2. Create a snapshot.
  3. Activate the snapshot on Workflow Center.
  4. Install the snapshot on Workflow Server.
