Upgrade Installation

As a system administrator, you upgrade your existing Automation Engine system to the latest version.

Important!

• It is strongly recommended to carry out the upgrade steps in the order they are listed in the CAPKI documentation, see CAPKI - Securing the ServiceManager.

• Never upgrade a productive AE system without having it tested extensively in a separate environment.

• If you want to upgrade from an Automation Engine version that is out of maintenance or need help with your upgrade, please contact CA Automic Technical Files to Aid Technical Support.

• The Automation Engine and the Automic Web Interface components should always be on the same release version. To check other compatibility issues, see Compatibility Information.

• If you upgrade the AE manually without using ZDU, the WPs in the new version always start in cold mode. If you upgrade by using ZDU, no cold start is required.
