Upgrade CA Performance Center

The CA Performance Center installer includes features to support product upgrades. To perform an upgrade of the software, run the installation file for the new version that you received from CA.

A .history file is available to help you determine the version that you have installed. Access this file from the /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/InstallLogs directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Save the installation file to a known location on the CA Performance Center server.
2. Back up the database. For more information, see Create a Backup Archive.

   Important! Be sure to back up the database before initiating the upgrade process. Otherwise, configuration data can be lost.

3. Follow the instructions in this Installation Guide to install the software using the user interface or in console mode.

   The installation prompts you to select the type of installation.

4. Select Upgrade.

   The Upgrade operation installs the new software.

   Important! When the upgrade completes, clear the browser cache on any computer where you plan to access the CA Performance Center console.
