15.3 Upgrading PlateSpin Migrate Connector

You can use the installation files for PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2 to update your existing standalone Connector instances running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 Service Pack 4 if the prerequisite software is installed.

NOTE:PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2 is not backwards compatible with prior releases of Platespin Transformation Manager. After you upgrade the Connector software, you must reconfigure the Connector to work with PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2.

To update a standalone instance of the Migrate Connector:

  1. Log in to the Migrate Connector host as the root user.

  2. Save a copy of the Connector config file to a location that will be available after you upgrade the Connector software, or make a note of its current settings.

    You will need to reconfigure the settings in the Connector config file after you upgrade.

  3. Ensure that you install or update prerequisite software to the versions listed in Table 14-1, Prerequisite Software for PlateSpin Migrate Connector on Linux Distributions.

  4. Copy the RPM and KEY files that you downloaded to a location on the server.

  5. Launch a console, then navigate to the location where you copied the RPM and KEY files.

  6. Import the PTM Public Key to your keyring.

    In a console, enter one of the following commands as the root user:

    gpg --import <ptm-public-key-filename>
    
    or
    
    rpm --import <ptm-public-key-filename>
  7. Update PlateSpin Migrate Connector files.

    In a console, enter

    rpm -Uvh <ptm-connector-rpm-filename>

    Ensure that you replace xxx with the actual build number.

  8. Use the previous Connector config file settings to reconfigure the settings for this Connector instance.

    See Section 16.1, Configuring a Connector Instance for PTM.

  9. Restart the Migrate Connector Service. In a console, enter

    rcps_migrate_connector restart
