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.
-
For versions 11.2 and higher, it is recommended to use the ZDU to ensure continuous operations, see Zero Downtime Upgrade.
-
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 Support.
-
The Automic Web Interface and the AE server must have the same release version. To check other compatibility issues, see Automic Compatibility Matrix.
-
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.
