Upgrading on a Liberty profile and Oracle Database

After your database server is prepared, you can begin to upgrade the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform. For specific settings and values, you might need to consult with your IBM WebSphere Application Server administrator and Oracle Database administrator.

Before you begin

Verify that Oracle Database is running and that you have administrative authority on the server. Ensure the Oracle Database database instance and the database have been configured for TRIRIGA®.

Procedure

  1. Run the installer file. Follow the installation instructions.
    1. Accept the license.
    2. Choose the Java Virtual Machine to use with the installation program.
      The 64-bit version of Java 17 is required.
    3. Select the installation folder.
    4. For the installation type, select Existing Database.
    5. Select the installation folder for the deployment you want to upgrade.
  2. By default, IBM WebSphere Liberty is installed. If you want to use a preconfigured WebSphere Liberty installation or a different version, you can place a preconfigured wlp directory into the target installation directory.
    1. Specify the Java memory setting values in megabytes.
    2. Specify HTTP and HTTPS ports and the session timeout value used by the Liberty Profile.
    3. Optional: Configure TRIRIGA to run Liberty as a Windows service. You must run the TRIRIGA installation program as an Administrator to create the Windows service. If you did not run the TRIRIGA installation program as an Administrator, quit the installation program and restart it with Administrator privileges. This service will replace an existing Liberty Windows service on the system unless you assign it a unique service name.
    4. Optional: On Windows, specify the application context root for accessing the IBM® TRIRIGA application.
      This path must begin with a slash (/).
  3. For the database type, select Oracle. Consult with your Oracle Database administrator and specify the database information in the next set of screens.
    1. Specify the information for the data schema database server, such as the host name, port, and system identification.
    2. Specify the data schema user name and password.
    3. Specify the names of the data schema table spaces.
      Only letters and the underscore can be used in the table space name.
    4. Test the data schema connection.
    5. Specify the sizes for the database pools.
  4. Complete and review the installation information in the final set of screens.
    1. Specify the names of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) mail server and front end server.
    2. Review the pre-installation summary and click Install.
  5. Click Next.
    1. Optional: If you want to monitor the progress in the directory where IBM TRIRIGA is installed, you can open the ant.log file in a log monitoring utility.
      In Windows, you can run the WinTail utility. In Linux®, you can run the tail –f ant.log command.
  6. When the installation is complete, click Done.
  7. Verify that your license files are in the tririga_root\config\licenses directory.
  8. Optional: If you made customizations that were saved in the userfiles directory, copy those files into the upgrade installation.
  9. Restart IBM TRIRIGA using the appropriate method.
    • On Windows servers, open a command prompt and run the command to start the Liberty profile. tririga_root\wlp\bin\run.bat
    • On Linux servers, open a command prompt and run the command to start the Liberty profile. tririga_root/wlp/bin/run.sh
    The command window closes after initial startup. Liberty continues to run as a background process.
  10. Check for the latest available fix pack and apply it.

What to do next
