AutoSys Workload Automation

Hello,

We are preparing to upgrade a series of our agents to R11.3.7 (build 979). We have a large population already on this version and want to get them all at the same level for 2018.

I have a question regarding the required steps to upgrade an agent that is still at R11.3.4 (build 717). Do I need to apply the patches for the builds inbetween (i.e. 904 and 046) before I can apply the patch for 979?

Thanks,

Denise

FYI  I meant build 946, not 046.

Consider CA WA Agent 11.4, for its installer makes upgrade easy from any prior 11.3 release, for example 11.3 SP1.

You need to update the upgrade.properties file as per your environment and then just execute:

# ./setup.bin -f ./upgrade.properties.new

Sample upgrade.propertied file I used:

# cat upgrade.properties.new
INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
ACCEPT_EULA=ACCEPT
AGENT_UPGRADE_PATH=/opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE/SystemAgent/WA_AGENT_R11_3_1
AGENT_UPGRADE_FORCE=true
UPGRADE_BACKUP_LOCATION=/software/agent_backups

# cd /opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE/SystemAgent/WA_AGENT_R11_3_1

# ./cybAgent -vv

And, it tar'd up the entire older agent dir for backout:

Hi Denise,

You can directly apply SP7 to your existing agents.

Thank you,
