Server software upgrade on Ubuntu
When you want to use the latest version of the server software on Ubuntu, you must upgrade Rational® Test Automation Server from the previous version of the software.
Before you upgrade the server software, you must ensure that you have completed the following tasks:
-
Installed Helm V3.5.2. For more information, refer to the Helm documentation.
-
Informed users that HCL OneTest™ Server is offline temporarily during the upgrade process.
-
Completed all test executions that are running on the existing HCL OneTest™ Server V10.1.0 or later.
-
Stopped all stub executions that are running on the existing HCL OneTest™ Server V10.1.0 or later.
-
Canceled any scheduled test runs that have a future date or time.
In upgrade (by new install) method, depending on the existing version of the software, you can upgrade the server software by using any of the following options.
To upgrade Rational® Test Automation Server V10.1.0 or later to latest version, you must perform these tasks in sequence as listed in the following table:
| Tasks | Task description | More information |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Back up the user data from Rational® Test Automation Server V10.1.0 or later. |
|
| 2 | Uninstall Rational® Test Automation Server V10.1.0 or later. | Uninstalling the server software from Ubuntu |
| 3 | Install the latest version of the server software, and then restore the user data. | Installing the server software on Ubuntu by using k3s |
If your existing version of server software is 10.0.2, Fix Pack 1, or earlier, then you cannot directly upgrade to the latest version of the server software due to the steps involved in the migration process. Therefore, you must perform the tasks in sequence as listed in the following table:
| Tasks | Task description | More information |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Upgrade Rational® Test Automation Server V10.1.2. | Installing Rational® Test Automation Server V10.1.2 |
| 2 | Back up the user data from Rational® Test Automation Server V10.1.2. | Backing up user data - V10.1.2 |
| 3 | Uninstall Rational® Test Automation Server V10.1.2. | Uninstalling the server software |
| 4 | Install the server software, and then restore the user data on the server software. | Installing the server software on Ubuntu by using k3s |
After you migrate the server data from a previous version to a newer version, the Project Owner must log in to HCL OneTest™ Server so that other members of the project can access the test assets in that project.
