Steps are missing for successful side-by-side upgrade. (6898037)

After upgrading from the older version of Application Server, verify the following under the upgraded installation (target-installation) location:

1. Domain directory is in the source directory.

2. Node agent is under node-agent directory as created in the source installation.

   cd target-installation/nodeagents/upgraded-node/agent/config

3. Check the value of the agent.das.port property in the das.properties file before starting the node agent for the first time. Perform this check on the das.properties file on the upgraded installation. The value of the agent.das.port property must reflect the same value as the jmx-connector port defined in the domain.xml file on the source installation from which the domain is upgraded.

4. Check the value of the agent.bind.status property in the nodeagent.properties file before starting the node agent for the first time. Perform this check on the nodeagent.properties file on target-installation. The value of the agent.bind.status property must BOUND. Edit the agent.bind.status property in the nodeagent.properties file on the source installation.

If you are upgrading side-by-side on Windows:

After upgrading the domain, if the upgraded-node has not been created under target-installation/nodeagents directory as in the source installation:

1. Go to the target-installation/bin directory.

2. Manually create the node agent that has the same name as in the source installation with the admin port specified in the create-node-agent command.

3. Perform the additional steps above.

4. Start the node agent.
