Upgrading

Learn how to upgrade IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence for IBM Z to the latest version.

Important: Java 17.0.9 is the minimum required version. Make sure it is installed before continuing.

Important: Before you begin with the upgrade, verify if IBM ADDI is configured with HTTPS and certificates. If it is, then switch to HTTP (instead of HTTPS) in the current IBM ADDI installation through the Admin Dashboard. After the IBM ADDI is configured with HTTP, you can proceed with the upgrade process. The step applies to all the earlier versions except for IBM ADDI 6.1.2. Here are the steps to configure ADDI to run over HTTP instead of HTTPS: Go to Admin UI > Configure > Servers and security > Security > select HTTP under Protocol type > Save.

Important: When the upgrade and configuration of IBM® Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence for IBM Z® to the latest version end, make sure to reactivate the full functionality of IBM ADDI by using the latest Activation Kit available on Passport Advantage®.
