Upgrading IBM Business Process Manager
You can install upgrades to IBM® Business Process Manager 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.
Restriction: IBM Business
Process Manager V8.6.0 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 Process Manager V8.6.0 or contact IBM service
for help to migrate to IBM Business
Process Manager V8.6.0 on a
64-bit operating system.
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:
- Define the servers again in the fix pack version of the Heritage Process Portal application.
- Create a snapshot.
- Activate the snapshot on Process Center.
- Install the snapshot on Process Server.
