Upgrading from Version 9.7.1

Upgrading the Hub Server in Graphical Mode

Upgrading the Hub Server in Graphical Mode

To upgrade the Hub Server in graphical mode, run the Hub Server installer.
If you use embedded ActiveVOS, the upgrade process requires you to install the updated version of ActiveVOS in a new directory. If you prefer to overwrite your existing ActiveVOS installation, before you begin the upgrade, open the
../hub/server/bin/build.properties
file and comment out the following property:
activevos.install.dir = <AVOS installed path>
. For other pre-upgrade tasks, see Prepare the BPM Upgrade.
  1. Log in using the user name that was used to install the Hub Server.
  2. Start the application server on which the Hub Server is deployed.
  3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the Hub Server installer in the distribution directory. By default the installer is in the following directory:
    • On UNIX.
      <
      MDM Hub distribution directory
      >/<
      operating system name
      >/mrmserver
    • On Windows.
      <
      MDM Hub distribution directory
      >\windows\mrmserver
  4. Run the following command:
    • On UNIX.
      hub_install.bin
    • On Windows.
      hub_install.exe
  5. From the

    The
    License Agreement
    window appears.
  6. Review and accept the terms of the license agreement. Click

    file. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Version Warning
    message appears.
  8. Click
    OK
    to upgrade an existing Hub Server installation.
  9. If the previous installation uses WebLogic as the application server, the Hub Server installer prompts you to provide the WebLogic Admin password. Enter the WebLogic password.
  10. If you use, or want to use, ActiveVOS for business process management, install the embedded ActiveVOS version that is recommended for this version of
    Multidomain MDM
    .
    If you already have a supported version of ActiveVOS installed, you can skip some of the substeps in this step. Perform substep c. to enter database details and substep 12f. to specify the user name and password for the ActiveVOS Server Administration Console.

      ActiveVOS Installer
      page, click
      Choose
      . Browse to the ActiveVOS_Server installation file in the distribution package. Click
