About Upgrading Direct Mode Applications

You cannot use the automated upgrade procedures to upgrade direct mode applications that are running in their own containers. The TimesTen Operator does propagate image 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 the containers. In so doing, the StatefulSet spawns new containers to replace the original containers. These new containers run the new TimesTen image. For more information about direct mode applications, see About Using Direct Mode Applications.
