APM 9.7.1: Upgrading WebSphere from 7 to 8.5

  • 1.  APM 9.7.1: Upgrading WebSphere from 7 to 8.5

    Posted Jan 30, 2018 02:24 PM

    Hello,

     

    We currently have over 4 dozen Wily Java agents running in our APM 9.7.1 environment and also WebSphere 7.0, Server admins are in process of upgrading WebSphere to 8.5, my question is in our IntroscopeAgent Profiles, we are using the 'ws70x.pbd' file, is there a "ws80x.pbd' file for moving to WebSphere 8.5?

     

    /introscopeAgent971/wily/core/config]$  ls -trl ws*
    -rwxrwxr--    1 cseadmin cseadmnp       1261 Mar 16 2015  ws70x.pbd
    -rwxrwxr--    1 cseadmin cseadmnp      11411 Mar 16 2015  ws60x.pbd

     

    Regards,

    Pat O'Connor

    I check both 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 agent but haven't find any ws80x.pbd or ws85x.pbd. all if find is 8.0 support.

    I would suggest to open a support ticket to find details.

    The Compatibility Guide for each version will tell you which vendor products are supported. Have you checked these?

    Haruhiko,

     

    Good Morning,

     

    Yes, I have checked the compatibility spreadsheet, APM 9.7.16 is compatable with WAS 8.5.

    My question though is, possibly WAS 8.X was not out yet prior to APM 9.7 being distributed, hence no ws80x.pbd files, as what was all in the 9.7 package was the ws60x.pbd and ws70x.pbd files.

    The ws70x.pbd file is in the file “websphere-typical.pbl” file in our Introscope_WAS_profile.

     

    Yesterday, I did open up a case with support as well.

     

    Thank You…

    All of the updated information shows support for 8.5, regardless of the naming of the files. Ignore those and go with what's in PCM.

    The devs do not always change the names of the files, especially if the vendor hasn't made any changes in terms of the source code. Which is why you still see the names that you do.
