Upgrade to the Current Release › Upgrade the Domain Orchestrator

Upgrade the Domain Orchestrator

You can upgrade directly to CA Process Automation Release 4.2 from the following CA Process Automation versions:

• CA Process Automation Service Pack 3.1 SP01
• CA Process Automation Service Pack 4.0 SP01
• CA Process Automation Release 4.1
• CA Process Automation Service Pack 4.1 SP01

If the Domain Orchestrator is clustered, you can begin the upgrade with any node, using the following procedure. When you upgrade subsequent nodes, the process is similar to Upgrade a Cluster Node, which is written for non-Domain clustered Orchestrators. The main difference is that you invoke the upgrade by selecting the Install Cluster Node For Domain Orchestrator option on the Installation palette.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the host on which the Domain Orchestrator (or a Domain Orchestrator cluster node) is installed.
2. Navigate to the DVD1 folder on the installation media and start the installation wizard from the file for your operating system. These files invoke the third-party installer and then the Domain Orchestrator installer.
   • Windows: Domain_Installer_windows.bat
   • Linux or UNIX: Domain_Installer_unix.sh

     Note: The Domain_Installer_unix.sh is not a command line script. You must invoke it with a display for the GUI installation.

3. Click Next to move through the initial pages of the wizard:
   • Language
   • Welcome to the CA Process Automation 3rd Party Installer Setup Wizard
   • License agreement - I accept the terms of the License Agreement
4. On the Select Destination Directory page, navigate to the same directory that you used for the previous release. (If you specify a different directory, this installation is treated as a new Orchestrator rather than an upgraded Orchestrator.)

   In Windows, the following are default paths up to the original installation folder:

   Release 3.1 SP01

   C:\program files\ca\itpam
   

   Release 4.0 and above

   C:\program files\ca\pam
   

5. If the Reinstall page appears, select Reinstall to proceed with the upgrade.
6. Click Next to Prerequisites for CA Process Automation Installation.
7. When the JDBC Jars Installation appears, click Add Files to install the required drivers.
   • MySQL - Browse to a JDBC driver jar file you have previously downloaded for MySQL. For example:

     ...your_dir\mysql-connector-java-5.1.19-bin.jar
     

   • MS SQL - Accept the default path to the JTDS JDBC jar file on DVD1 installation disk. For example:

     ...\DVD1\drivers\jtds-1.3.jar
     

     (Optionally, you can browse to a different JDBC jar file.)

   • Oracle - Accept the default path to the JDBC jar file on DVD1 installation disk. For example:

     ...DVD1\drivers\ojdbc14.jar
     

     (Optionally, you can browse to a different JDBC jar file.)

   Note: You must specify at least one JDBC driver.

8. When the Completing the CA Process Automation Setup Wizard appears, replace DVD1 with DVD2 in the Directory path. Then click Finish.

   The message appears: "Copying CA Process Automation installer. This may take a few minutes to complete, please wait." You may experience a time lag between the close of this page and the opening of the Welcome page.

9. When the Welcome to CA Process Automation Domain Setup Wizard appears, click through the initial pages of the wizard:
   • Welcome to the CA Process Automation Domain Setup Wizard
   • License Agreement- I accept the terms of the License Agreement
10. Verify that the Java Home Directory points to the version of JDK that this release supports.
11. Continue, clicking through pages:
    • Reinstall
    • Configuration Screen
12. When the Set Certificate Password appears, enter the password that was specified during the installation of the last release. You must specify this same password to upgrade all other Orchestrators, Orchestrator nodes, and agents in this CA Process Automation Domain. Click Next.
13. Click through the Select Start Menu Folder to use your previous selection.
14. On the General Properties page, note the following changes in defaults for the Orchestrator server port:

    Server Port

    Defines the port that the Domain Orchestrator uses to communicate with other Orchestrators and agents. This port is used by simplified communication.

    Default: 80 (basic: HTTP), or 443 (secured: HTTPS)

    Deprecated Server Port

    The Server Port value that was defined for a previous release of CA Process Automation. This port is used by deprecated communication.

    Default: 7001

15. Click through the following pages, making changes at your discretion.
    • Scripts Temporary Directory
    • Powershell Execution Policy
16. When the Embedded Entitlements Manager (EEM) Security Settings appears,
    1. Verify that the application name listed is the correct EEM application name for the CA Process Automation instance that you are upgrading.

       This name can be customized, so the correct application name may not be shown by default.

    2. Select Register Application with CA EEM and click Register.
    3. Supply credentials for logging into CA EEM as the EiamAdmin administrator.
    4. Agree to upgrade. The installation process detects the CA EEM server version and chooses the appropriate SDK.
    5. Click OK when the Application Registered confirmation appears.
17. Click through the Database Settings since you have already defined these:
    • Repository database
    • Runtime database
    • Reporting database
18. Click through Additional JARs for installation if there is nothing to add.
19. When the Completing the CA Process Automation Domain Setup Wizard appears, click Finish.

    Important! It takes a significant amount of time before the Domain Orchestrator becomes available for login. The upgrade of additional Orchestrators or additional nodes, if the Domain Orchestrator is clustered, can begin only after you can log on to the Domain Orchestrator.

20. Start the Orchestrator service on the Domain Orchestrator.

    Note: See Start Orchestrators for operating system-specific details.

21. Continue in one of the following:
    • If you have other Orchestrator or cluster nodes:

      Upgrade a Nonclustered Orchestrator

      Upgrade a Cluster Node

    • If your only Orchestrator is a Nonclustered Domain Orchestrator:

      Carry out post-upgrade tasks
