Installing and upgrading to version 10.2.2

This section describes how to install and upgrade the Dynamic Workload Console to version 10.2.2.

Before getting started, verify that the following requirements are met:
  • The Dynamic Workload Console is active.
  • No user is connected to the Dynamic Workload Console to prevent the data related to their working session from being lost.
Installation notes
  • Ensure you have installed the required prerequisite software. To obtain the latest information about software requirements for HCL Workload Automation, see Product Requirements.
  • The formal test phase was performed using WebSphere Application Server Liberty 24.0.0.3.
    Note: Version 24.0.0.3 does not support installation paths containing spaces, for example C:\Program Files. If you installed any HCL Workload Automation components in a path containing spaces, do not upgrade WebSphere Application Server Liberty to version 24.0.0.3. You can continue using HCL Workload Automation with earlier versions.
    The minimum required WebSphere Application Server Liberty version to successfully install the package is 23.0.0.9.

Installation and upgrade procedures

You can install the release using the procedure described in Installing from the CLI.

You can upgrade to the current release using the procedure described in Upgrading from the CLI.

If upgrading from a version earlier than 10.x on which you are using default certificates in your environment, convert the certificates before you start the upgrade, as described in Converting default certificates.

If your environment consists of components at various version levels, see Upgrading in a mixed-version environment when using default certificates.

If you plan to install on or upgrade an HCL Workload Automation component on a workstation running RHEL 9 or later with default certificates, see Installation or upgrade fails on RHEL version 9 and later.

If you are performing a parallel upgrade from version 9.4, ensure you set the Broker.Workstation.PortSSL property to false in the BrokerWorkstation.properties file, as described in Ensuring communication in your environment.
