Moving an Existing Oracle Connection Manager to the Latest Version

Learn how to move an existing Oracle Connection Manager (CMAN) 23ai version to the latest Oracle Connection Manager version.

1. Install the latest version of Oracle Connection Manager 23ai using an image file in the new Oracle home. See Installing Oracle Connection Manager Using an Image File.
2. Stop the existing cman service using the Oracle Connection Manager Control utility (cmctl). For example, for the 23.5 Oracle home, at the command line, enter cmctl with no arguments to obtain the CMCTL prompt, and then run the ADMINISTER and SHUTDOWN commands.

   ./cmctl
   CMCTL> ADMINISTER [cman_instance]
   CMCTL> SHUTDOWN

3. Move the existing configuration file (cman.ora) to the new Oracle home.
4. Start the cman services from the new Oracle home using the Oracle Connection Manager Control utility (cmctl). For example, from the 23.x Oracle home, at the command line, enter cmctl with no arguments to obtain the CMCTL prompt, and then run the ADMINISTER and STARTUP commands.

   ./cmctl
   CMCTL> ADMINISTER [cman_instance]
   CMCTL> STARTUP
