Side-by-Side Upgrade

The source server and the target server are installed on the same machine , but under different install locations. You can choose to perform this type of upgrade if you wish to have the configuration corresponding to these installations on the same machine in different locations.

An in-place upgrade involves the following sequence of tasks

1. Upgrading Application Server Runtime Binaries

2. Upgrading Application Server Configuration, Deployed Applications, and Certificate Databases.

3. To Upgrade Remote Node Agents (Side-by-side) (only if you have remote agents in the source application server).

   If all existing node agents (from the source application server installation) run on a single machine, the upgrade tool automatically detects node agents, if any, on the source installation.
