Upgrading App Connect Instance in App Connect Container

Before you begin

  • Download the App Connect docker tar file (the version which you want to upgrade) from the fix central (passport).
  • Transfer to the Ubuntu server that has the Docker package.
  • Transfer the tar file to the App Connect Docker container using the following command:
    docker cp <CI docker file name>.tar.gz <existing CI Container ID>:/var/tmp/

    For example, docker cp 7.5.1.0-docker_build-20160302-1709_H8_64.tar.gz 1f79e655352c536161313eb5e9ea8b0d5a72e0104358b106bb6b1e70892be022:/var/tmp/, where 1f79e655352c536161313eb5e9ea8b0d5a72e0104358b106bb6b1e70892be022 is the container ID.

About this task

Use this task to upgrade an existing App Connect instance in App Connect Container with the later versions downloaded from the fix central.

Procedure

  1. Login into App Connect Web management console.
  2. Stop and undeploy all the App Connect projects.
  3. Stop secure connector instances, if you have already configured.
  4. From the App Connect Container CLI prompt, execute the following command to upgrade to the latest version.
    castiron --upgrade /var/tmp/<CI Docker file name>.tar.gz

    For example, castiron --upgrade /var/tmp/7.5.1.0-docker_build-20160302-1709_H8_64.tar.gz, where 7.5.1.0-docker_build-20160302-1709_H8_64 is the CI Docker file name.
