Learn how to upgrade IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy elements,
including the server, agents, and blueprint design server, and how to migrate data.
Upgrading the server
You upgrade the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server,
agents, agent relays, and blueprint design server independently. Always upgrade agents, agent
relays, and the blueprint design server in addition to upgrading the server. In most cases, you can
install the new version over the old version.
Upgrading high-availability installations
All servers that are configured for the HA feature must
be on the same version. Thus, all servers must be upgraded at the
same time.
Upgrading agents
In most cases, you upgrade agents from the server interface, but you can also upgrade the
agents from the command line. Always upgrade agents and agent relays in addition to upgrading
the server.
Upgrading agent relays
When you upgrade the server, be sure to always upgrade agents and agent
relays.
Upgrading the blueprint design server
To upgrade the blueprint design server, stop the Tomcat server, install the new version,
and restart the blueprint design server. When you upgrade the blueprint design server, you must also
upgrade the engine.
Upgrading engines
The instructions that you use to upgrade an engine depends on how you installed the
engine. When you upgrade the engine, you must also upgrade the blueprint design
server.
Upgrading encryption key strength
When you upgrade the server from version 6.0.1.1 or earlier
to a version later than version 6.0.1.1, you can upgrade the SSL encryption.
Moving blueprints and configuration files
After you upgrade from a version of the blueprint design server earlier than version
6.1.1, you must move blueprints and configuration files from the file system to the Git
repository.
Migrating security settings
To migrate security settings from uDeploy® 4.8.5 or IBM uDeploy 5.0
to IBM UrbanCode Deploy,
complete these steps.
Migrating the server database
The server installation files include a script that migrates the server database from
Derby to another database system. You can not migrate from any database other than
Derby.
