Verifying the IBM Business Automation Navigator upgrade

After you upgrade your deployment of IBM Business Automation Navigator, you must verify that your upgraded application works with the rest of your container environment.

Procedure

To verify your upgrade:

  1. Determine the service URL for the Business Automation Navigator container deployment.
    1. In the OpenShift or Kubernetes console information for Networking, locate the Business Automation Navigator route or Ingress instance, for example, myproject-cpe-route. 
    2. Click Launch HTTPS to open the URL that displays the hostname that represents the service.
    3. Use the URL value for the subsequent status checking steps.
  2. Verify that you can access IBM Business Automation Navigator at the following URL: https://hostname/navigator.
  3. Verify that the Content Platform Engine server information is correct:
    1. Log in to the Navigator admin desktop: https://hostname/navigator/?desktop=admin
    2. Navigate to Repositories.
    3. Select the repository, and click Test Connection to verify the communication with the Content Platform Engine services are functional.
    4. If the test fails, click Edit and change the Server URL value to update to the new cpe service value, typically myproject-cpe-svc, for the upgraded deployment.
  4. If your configuration includes External Share, re-load and re-configure the External Share plug-in to use the new Ingress URLs.
    1. If needed, determine your updated Ingress host: 
      kubectl get ingress -n <namespace>
    2. In your Navigator administration console, navigate to Plug-ins, and select your existing External Share plug in.
    3. Edit the value in the Jar File Path to the updated Ingress host name.
