The Hub Server runs the core and common services for MDM, including access, security, and session management. The Hub Server is deployed in an application server environment.
This chapter is for an in-place upgrade only. For a clean upgrade, install the Hub Server by following the instructions in the
Multidomain MDM Installation Guide
for your application server and database environment.
You can upgrade the Hub Server in graphical mode, console mode, or silent mode. To upgrade the Hub Server in graphical mode or console mode, run the Hub Server Installer provided in the distribution. To upgrade the Hub Server in silent mode, configure the silent installer properties files.
If you use a version of ActiveVOS Server that is not supported, you are prompted to install ActiveVOS Server during the Hub Server upgrade process.
The Hub Server installer differentiates a patch installation from a full installation when, during installation, you point to the existing MDM Hub installation as the target. Before overwriting the existing Hub Server installation, the MDM Hub Installer creates a backup of critical files.
