Upgrade iGateway in Normal Mode—UNIX

You have the following options to upgrade iGateway in normal mode using the iGateway.sh script based on how iGateway was installed:

• As a member of the superuser (root or equivalent group)

A previous installation of iGateway is upgraded when the following conditions apply:

• The iGateway installation is at /opt/CA/igateway or the /opt/CA/SharedComponents/iTechnology.location file contains a valid install path.
• The installed version of iGateway on the computer is an older version than the new install version.
• If the iGateway installer version is older than the installed version of iGateway, only components that were not previously installed (SPIN, iRegistry, or iAuthority) can be installed.
