Upgrading the IBM Internet of Things Continuous Engineering Solution

To upgrade the IBM Internet of Things (IoT) Continuous Engineering Solution, install the new application versions, update configuration files, add, or update tables in existing database repositories, and upgrade the data warehouse.

Supported upgrade paths

If you upgrade multiple products that are running on multiple application servers, those applications continue to run on separate application servers after the upgrade. You cannot merge multiple applications into a single application server. However, you can register multiple applications with the same Jazz™ Team Server.

Planning your upgrade

1. Learn about the upgrading process. When you upgrade the current version, you must be prepared to make decisions about URIs, servers, deployment topologies, licensing, authentication, and more. To learn about the system and software requirements, upgrade process, client and server version compatibility, licensing and more, read these articles. For more information, read the Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) deployment and upgrade planning documentation.
2. Customize your upgrading documentation by using the CLM interactive upgrade guide. Select the options that best describe your installation environment, and follow the instructions.

Upgrade constraints

• Each Jazz Team Server must be at the same level as the highest version of the product that is registered to it.
• If you install the Jazz Team Server and an application using the Jazz Team Server (such as Rational Team Concert) on the same WebSphere® Application Server, you must apply any future service releases to both at the same time.

Upgrade path overview

Upgrade your applications in this order:

1. Jazz Team Server version 6.0.3 (if on the same application server as other applications)
2. Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management version 6.0.3: Rational Team Concert, Rational DOORS® Next Generation, Rational Quality Manager, Jazz Reporting Service (Report Builder and Lifecycle Query Engine), Global Configuration, Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, and Design Management
3. Rational DOORS and DOORS Web Access version 9.6.1.7
4. Rational Rhapsody version 8.2.0

It is not necessary to upgrade all the products and components. Ensure that you meet the requirements that are listed under Upgrade constrains.

Upgrading applications by using the CLM interactive upgrade guide

Use the Rational solution for CLM documentation to upgrade the following applications:

• Jazz Team Server
• Rational Team Concert
• Rational DOORS Next Generation
• Rational Quality Manager
• Jazz Reporting Service (Report Builder and Lifecycle Query Engine)
• Global Configuration
• Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager
• Design Management.

Install the new version of the product, update configuration files, add or update tables in existing database repositories, and upgrading the data warehouse.

• For an overview of the upgrade process, read Upgrading the Rational solution for CLM.
• Of particular importance is the topic Understanding the deployment and upgrade process.
• To learn the step by step procedure, see the Rational solution for CLM interactive upgrade guide.

To upgrade Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager queries, see Migrating queries to version 6.0.3.

Upgrading Rational DOORS and DOORS Web Access

To upgrade Rational DOORS, back up all DOORS data, and then install Rational DOORS to a new directory while the previous version is removed. Follow the instructions in the Rational DOORS documentation.

Upgrading Rational Rhapsody

To upgrade Rational Rhapsody, back up your data, uninstall the existing version of Rational Rhapsody, and install the new version. Follow the instructions in the Rational Rhapsody documentation.
