Upgrading the App Connect instance in the App Connect Professional Docker container

Before you begin

  1. Download the App Connect Professional image file (the version that you want to upgrade) from IBM Fix Central (passport).
  2. Transfer the downloaded App Connect Professional image file to the Ubuntu server that has the Docker package.
  3. Transfer the tar file to the App Connect Professional Docker container using the following command:
    docker cp <docker_file_name>.tar.gz <existing_container_ID>:/var/tmp/

    For example,

    docker cp 7.5.3.0-docker_build-20181115-1407_H18_64.tar.gz 1f79e655352c536161313eb5e9ea8b0d5a72e0104358b106bb6b1e70892be022:/var/tmp/

    Where 1f79e655352c536161313eb5e9ea8b0d5a72e0104358b106bb6b1e70892be022 is the container ID.

About this task

Use this task to upgrade an existing version (same version to different build level) of an App Connect Professional instance in an App Connect Professional container with the fixes downloaded from the IBM Fix Central.

Procedure

  1. Login into the App Connect Web management console.
  2. Stop and undeploy all the App Connect projects.
  3. Stop secure connector instances that you have already configured.
  4. From the App Connect Professional container CLI prompt, run the following command to upgrade to the latest build level.
    castiron --upgrade /var/tmp/<docker_file_name>.tar.gz

    For example,

    castiron --upgrade /var/tmp/7.5.3.0-docker_build-20181115-1407_H18_64.tar.gz

    Where 7.5.3.0-docker_build-20181115-1407_H18_64.tar.gz is the Docker file name.

Results

On successful upgrade, you will be see messages similar to the following:
