Database Upgrade

Note: This topic only applies if you are upgrading from a previous version of CA CSM. The setup process creates the migration jobs. The jobs are executed according to the selected installation mode.

The PreviousRelease.MSMPATH options file parameter in the MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties options file must be populated with the same value as the previous application installation path. This practice ensures that the migration jobs are automatically generated.

When migrating CA CSM from a previous version, verify that parameters MVSHFSDsnPrefix and MountPath in the current and previous MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties have the same values as the previous version of CA CSM. During installation, if these parameters are not the same between CA CSM versions, the CA CSM installer displays an error message for the corresponding property and exits the installation.

Note: Two installation jobs are run regardless of the selected install mode. The first job backs up the CA Datacom/MSM database files of your previous installed version of CA CSM, and the second job unpacks the contents of the CA CSM pax files.

The following installation modes are available while performing an upgrade:

A

In Automatic mode, installation jobs are submitted automatically in non-stop mode (the submitted jobs are not shown before submission).

R

In Review mode, you are prompted to review each installation job before submission.

M

In Manual mode, submit each installation job manually after the setup process.
