Updating the dynamic domain manager

Complete this procedure to update the dynamic domain manager and the backup dynamic domain manager from General Availability version 10.1 or later to the latest fix pack level.

About this task

Update a dynamic domain manager and a backup dynamic domain manager at the latest fix pack level by running the serverinst script. Launch the script on the workstation where the dynamic domain manager is running to update the dynamic domain manager, then launch the script on the workstation where the backup dynamic domain manager is running to update the backup dynamic domain manager.

Procedure

  1. Log in as root or Administrator to the workstation where you plan to install.
  2. Download the installation images from Flexnet.
  3. Browse to the folder image_location/TWS/interp_name.
  4. If possible, stop both dynamic domain manager and backup dynamic domain manager.
    If this is not possible, launch the configureDB script at a time when the server components are processing a low workload. If the configureDB script should fail because of conflicts with the server components, restart the script.
  5. To update the database version, run the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript configureDb.vbs –-componenttype=DDM --rdbmstype db_type --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_password --dbadminuser db_administrator --dbadminuserpw db_administrator_password
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./configureDb.sh –-componenttype=DDM --rdbmstype db_type --dbhostname db_hostname --dbport db_port --dbname db_name --dbuser db_user --dbpassword db_password --dbadminuser db_administrator --dbadminuserpw db_administrator_password
  6. Start the installation launching the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    cscript serverinst.vbs --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR
    On UNIX operating systems
    ./serverinst.sh --acceptlicense yes --inst_dir INST_DIR

    where INST_DIR is the directory where the component is installed. To find out the installation directory, see Finding out what has been installed in which HCL Workload Automation instances.

    Note: The acceptlicense and inst_dir parameters are required. All other parameters are ignored by the serverinst command, except for the following two optional parameters: lang and skipcheckprereq.

    For further details about commands, see Reference.

  7. If you are applying a fix pack to version 10.1 and want to enable SSL communication, manually modify the workstation definition for each dynamic domain manager adding the following arguments:
    secureaddr
    Specify the value to be assigned to nm port in the localopts file.
    securitylevel
    Specify the type of SSL authentication for the dynamic domain manager. To enable SSL communication, set this argument to force_enabled, so that the dynamic domain manager uses SSL authentication for all of its connections to all target workstations which are set to this value.
    For more information about the workstation definition, see Workstation definition.
    You have now successfully updated the dynamic domain manager.

What to do next

You can now proceed to Updating the master domain manager and its backup.
