Upgrade a SOA Agent to r12.1 on Windows

The SOA Security Manager installer can upgrade existing SOA Agents to r12.1. The kit that contains the installer can be downloaded from the Technical Support site.

To locate installation kits on the Support site

1. Click Technical Support.
2. Log into CA Support Online.
3. Click Download Center.

Search the Download Center for the installation kit you need.

Note: Extract all files and directories in the SOA Security Manager kit to a common location on a local drive and keep them together—the SOA Security Manager installer cannot run without the included supporting files.

Consider the following:

• If the installation program detects any locked Agent files, it prompts you to restart your system instead of reconfiguring it. Select whether to restart the system immediately or later.
• If you are installing an Agent on an Sun Java System web server, you may see an error message stating that the httpd.exe service is unable to locate the smconapi.dll. If this message appears, reboot your system before launching the Web Agent Configuration Wizard.

To upgrade SOA Agents on Windows

1. Exit all applications that are running and stop the web server.
2. Navigate to where the installation executable is located.
3. Double-click ca-soasm-12.1-cr001-win32.exe.

   The SOA Security Manager installation wizard starts.

4. Proceed through the wizard to upgrade the SOA Agent. Consider the following when running the installer:
   • When prompted to select features to install, select CA SOA Security Manager Agents and then specify the SOA Agent type you want to upgrade.
   • When the wizard prompts you to confirm the upgrade, select one of the following options:
     • Continue with the upgrade—upgrades the SOA Agent to r12.1.
     • Abort the upgrade—exits the upgrade procedure without upgrading the SOA Agent.
   • If the installation program detect that newer versions of certain system .dlls are installed on your system and prompts you to overwrite these newer files with older files, select the No To All option.

   The new SOA Agent files are copied to the specified location.

5. Choose whether to restart your system immediately or later.
6. Re-configure the upgraded SOA Agent with the SOA Security Manager Configuration Wizard.

   Note: You do not need to re-register your trusted host.
