Create a full backup of volumes and configuration files that can help you roll back your
upgrade if needed.
About this task
To backup your environment for an upgrade, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- For all patterns, you can back up your environment by following the steps in Backing
up your environments.
- If you are using IBM Automation Workstream Services and you stored
federated saved searches in the Elasticsearch index from 22.0.2, you must back up the saved
searches.
- If you are using Business Automation Insights, create savepoints
for all the running processing jobs so that you can restart them correctly after the upgrade. You
need to take a save point for the Operational Decision Manager Flink job because its implementation
is different.
- To create save points, follow steps 1 to 3 in Restarting from a checkpoint or savepoint.
- Take note of all the savepoint paths, which appear in this form
/mnt/pv/savepoints/savepoint-xxxxxx.
- Reuse these values when you prepare the parameters for the upgrade.
- If you are using Business Automation Studio, be sure to create a
version to save your work.
