Automic Workload Automation

Dear Experts,

I would like to upgrade the SAP agent . We are using Automic Engine 11.2 version.

Could someone provide me the pointers or any documentation/procedure for the upgrade?

Thank you.

Hi Gurramkk,

Here's a link to the update installation. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

Alexander

Hello Alexander,

Thank you for the guidance.

The Document has Installing the agent procedure. However, since the agent is already deployed in our case, I did not want to overwrite the files. So I have done the following steps to upgrade the agent. 

1> Copied/Overwritten the files ( *.DLL, *.msl, *.jar ) to the existing bin directory of the SAP agent.

2> Retained the *.ini file.

After restarting the agent, I could see the new version active.

Please let me know if this procedure is acceptable?

Thank you.

Hi

this method is totally OK.

If you would have needed a fallback Scenario i would recommend performing a new installation (without start of the agent).

If everything is installed correctly you can turn off the old agent and turn on the new agent.

If there are any major issues you can turn off the agent and run the old one.

This is just a general hint - several sub- possiblities (e.g. re-naming the new agent) not mentioned...

cheers Wolfgang
