Before You Upgrade

Consider the following before you upgrade the Administrative UI:

• You upgrade the Administrative UI using the installation media on the Technical Support site.

  Note: For a list of installation media names, see the Policy Server Release Notes.

• (Linux) Be sure that the required Linux libraries are installed to the Administrative UI host system. For more information, see Required Linux Libraries.
• Important! The installation zip contains a layout.properties file and a Framework folder at the same level as the installation media. If you moved the installation media after extracting the installation zip, move the following to the same location or the installation fails:
  • layout.properties file
  • Framework folder
• Important! (UNIX) Depending on your permissions, you may need to add executable permissions to the directory that contains the installation media by running the following:

  chmod -R+x directory
  

  directory

  Specifies the directory that contains the installation media.

• (UNIX) If you execute the Administrative UI installer across different subnets, it can crash. Run the Administrative UI installer directly on the host system.
