Upgrading IBM Automation Workstream Services

After the operator upgrades your deployment of IBM Automation Workstream Services, you might need to perform some additional steps to complete the upgrade process.

Before you begin

The following diagram highlights the components that are always installed when you install a Workstream Services pattern, along with the optional components. If you are upgrading Workstream Services in your CR, then make sure that you update all the relevant versions for all of the capabilities that are in your CR file.

Note: The CR configuration sections for these components use the following names:
  • FileNet Content Manager: ecm_configuration
  • Automation Workstream Services: baw_configuration
  • Resource Registry: resource_registry_configuration

Procedure

  1. Optional: Full text search is no longer enabled by default after the upgrade. To enable full text search manually, follow the steps in Enabling full text search.
  2. Optional: JMS is now embedded in the Workflow server by default after the upgrade. To deploy an independent JMS server, follow the steps in Customizing an independent JMS server..
  3. Optional: With new Workflow capability installations, Workplace is hosted by the Workflow server instead of in Business Automation Navigator by default. To continue using this feature in Navigator, you must federate Workflow with Process Federation Server, as instructed later in the post-upgrade instructions.
    If you do not plan to federate Workflow, remove the host_federated_portal parameter from the spec.baw_configuration section in the CR.
    If you are not using Business Automation Application or federating Workflow, you can remove the application_engine_configuration section from your CR to remove the Application Engine server.

What to do next

Continue to configure the other capabilities that are in your CR file, and make sure that you complete the last step Validating the YAML in your custom resource file before you apply the CR to the operator.

Apply the modified CR file as described in Applying the updated custom resource for the upgrade to take place.
