Downloading the upgrade packages

First, you must download the BDD upgrade packages and put them in a single directory (the upgrade source directory) on the Admin Server. You will perform the entire upgrade process from this location.

1. On the Admin Server, create a new directory or select an existing one to be the upgrade source directory.
2. Within the upgrade source directory, create a subdirectory named packages.
3. Go to the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud and sign in.
4. Accept the Export Restrictions.
5. Check Programs if it isn't already.
6. In the Product text box, enter Oracle Big Data Discovery.
7. Click Select Platform and check Linux x86-64.
   Oracle Big Data Discovery displays in the Selected Products table.
8. Click Continue.
9. Verify that Available Release and Oracle Big Data Discovery 1.1.x.x.x for Linux x86-64 are both checked, then click Continue.
10. Accept the Oracle Standard Terms and Restrictions and click Continue.
11. In the File Download popup, click Download All.
    This downloads the following packages to your machine:
    • First of two parts of the Oracle Big Data Discovery binary
    • Second of two parts of the Oracle Big Data Discovery binary
    • Installer for Oracle Big Data Discovery
    • SDK for Oracle Big Data Discovery
    • Documentation for Oracle Big Data Discovery
    You should also make a note of each package's part number, as you will need this information to identify it.
12. On the Admin Server, move the packages you downloaded to the /packages directory within the upgrade source directory.
13. Rename the first BDD binary package bdd1.zip and the second bdd2.zip.
    This ensures the upgrade script will recognize them.
14. Move up a directory to the upgrade source directory and unzip the installer package:

    unzip packages/<installer_package>.zip

    This creates a new directory within the upgrade source directory called /installer, which contains the scripts and files required to perform the upgrade.
