Validating the upgrade process

Before you attempt the actual upgrade in a production environment, you could validate the upgrade process on multiple testing environments.

Procedure

  1. In a test environment, check the logs for errors. For more information, see Troubleshooting the upgrade using Maximo® Manage logs.
    1. If errors are found, fix them. If the problem is related to customization, use the admin image container in the Red Hat OpenShift environment to copy the entire build directory to a local development computer with the customization and compile.
    2. Create the customization archive again with the updated code, redeploy, and reactivate.
  2. After successful testing, complete the upgrade by deploying in a production environment.
    1. Configure a Red Hat OpenShift cluster.
    2. Install Maximo Application Suite and all prerequisites.
    3. Get all production configuration, database configuration, server bundles configurations, and customization archive, ready if they exist.
    4. Deploy and activate Maximo Manage.
