To Upgrade Application Server

Before You Begin

• Obtain Application Server administrator user ID and password for your currently installed version.

• Shut down all J2EE components running in an Application Server instance before upgrading the instance. However, if load balancing provides for high availability or scalability, this requirement can be relaxed.

• Shut down all instances of Application Server running on a single computer (all corresponding to the same installed Application Server image.

• Back up all domain, node agent, and configuration data.

In multiple node deployments, perform the upgrade procedure on each node or computer that hosts Application Server instances.

1. Install Java ES 5 Application Server with the Configure Automatically During Installation option.

   The new installed domain is started automatically.

2. Stop the domain.

   You can also delete the domain created under new installation directory.
