5.5 Performing a Simple Upgrade

A simple upgrade consists of the following basic steps:

1. If you already have the DMTLOG and TLOG, ensure that there are no pending transaction logs in these files.
2. Shut down the application.
3. Back up files as described in Backing Up Files.
4. Update the text version of the configuration file on the MASTER machine by running the tmunloadcf(1)command.
5. Back up the old binary version of the configuration file.
6. If upgrading an Oracle Tuxedo 9.1 machine, uninstall the Oracle Tuxedo system software as described in Uninstalling Oracle Tuxedo.
7. Install the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) software on at least the MASTER and backup MASTER machines.
8. Reload the text version of the configuration file by running tmloadcf(1) on the MASTER machine.
9. Recompile and relink your application if you use an older release. Upgrading Tuxedo 12.2.2 is not mandatory. For more on Upgrade Considerations, see Upgrade Considerations.
10. If you already have DMTLOG and TLOG, remove them.
11. Reboot the application.
12. Shut down and upgrade the other machines in your configuration as time permits.

Note:

Follow these steps if you are using Tuxedo applications that use XAUTHSVR:

1. Enter the value of PASSWORD in a plain text.
2. To encrypt the PASSWORD value in the XAUTHSVR configuration file, run '22c installation dir>/bin/tpldapconf -f XAUTHSVR configuration file>'file.
