About Upgrading Direct Mode Applications

You cannot use this automated upgrade process to upgrade direct mode applications that are running in their own containers. The Operator does propagate the changes from a TimesTenClassic object to the associated StatefulSet, but the changes do not initiate the automated upgrade process. You must manually terminate the applications that are running in their containers. In so doing, StatefulSet spawns new containers to replace the original containers. These new containers run the newly specified TimesTen image. For more information about direct mode applications, see About Using Direct Mode Applications.
