Obtain the Helm Charts for Upgrade

Since the stack used Helm and the Helm charts included in a TimesTen container image to deploy the TimesTen Operator, you can use the Helm charts from a newer version of the TimesTen container image to upgrade the TimesTen Operator and TimesTen databases.

To obtain the Helm charts from a newer version of the TimesTen container image, do the following:

1. On your development host, use docker login to log in to the Oracle Container Repository (OCR).
   You should use the same credentials you used to create the Kubernetes Secret for the stack configuration. The OCR user used for that Secret has already accepted the Standards Terms and Restrictions for the official container images for TimesTen.

   podman login container-registry.oracle.com

2. Create a temporary container for the version of TimesTen container image you wish to use for the upgrade.

   podman create --name <temp-container> container-registry.oracle.com/timesten/timesten:22.1.1.36.0

   Note:

   This example assumes that the current version of TimesTen used by the TimesTen Operator and TimesTen databases is 22.1.1.35.0 and the version for the upgrade is 22.1.1.36.0.

3. Copy the Helm charts for the upgrade to a local directory.

   podman cp <temp-container>:/timesten/operator/helm .

4. Delete the temporary container.

   podman rm <temp-container>

You have successfully acquired the Helm charts required to upgrade the TimesTen version of the TimesTen Operator and TimesTen databases.
