Upgrade All. In this approach you upgrade all deployed Java ES product components to Release 5. In some cases, due to the complexity of a deployment, upgrading an entire system at one time is not feasible for business reasons.
The two approaches to performing upgrades are compared in the following table:
Upgrade Approach |
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
Upgrade All |
Maintains a consistent version for all components in your deployed system |
Maximizes the number of components to upgrade |
The choice between Selective Upgrade and Upgrade All is not rigid. For example, you might choose to selectively upgrade the product components on a particular computer, but wish to upgrade all shared components needed to support the selected product components.In fact, for upgrades from Release 4 to Release 5, selectively upgrading product components, while upgrading all of the corresponding shared components, is often the preferred approach.
