Upgrading IBM Orchestration Pipelines

An instance administrator can upgrade the IBM Orchestration Pipelines service on IBM® Software Hub.

Note: IBM Orchestration Pipelines increased the Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) size for the service. If you use NFS storage, you must do an offline procedure to expand the storage before or during upgrading. See Orchestration Pipelines artifact store PVC size increase for NFS storage class.

Important: Schedule the upgrade to Version 5.4 during periods of reduced workloads. IBM Orchestration Pipelines Version 5.4 introduces a default local runtime that requires all active pipeline runs to complete before the upgrade can proceed. The upgrade process automatically stops new pipeline runs and waits for running instances to reach a terminal state (Completed or Failed). If running pipeline runs do not complete within the default timeout period of 30 minutes, the reconciliation status transitions to Failed, and the reconciliation process retries on the next run cycle.
