Channel subscription upgrades of IBM® Maximo® Application Suite involve setting the subscription channel for your installed Maximo Application Suite operator, ensuring that the upgrade is approved, and updating the applications.
Before you begin
About this task
To upgrade your Suite instance, you set the subscription channel for your installed Maximo Application Suite operator in Red Hat® OpenShift® and ensure that the upgrade is approved.
Procedure
The upgrade will begin after it is approved. The approval strategy that is configured in your Maximo Application Suite operator's subscription determines how upgrades are approved.
If the strategy is set to Manual
, you can manually approve the upgrade in the
Subscription tab. If the strategy is set to Automatic
, the
upgrade is approved and completes automatically.
If the automatic approval strategy is set to On, when new application updates are available, they are added to the channel and updated in your Maximo Application Suite instance automatically. If the strategy is set to Off, when new application updates are available, you receive a notification, and you can manually approve the updates.
