Upgrade from a trial offering using the GUI

We can use Installation Manager to upgrade WAS v8.0 from the trial to the full product.

Restriction: We cannot upgrade from DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WAS Trial v8.0.0.0 to DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WAS v8.0.0.0.

However, you can upgrade to DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WAS v8.0.0.1 or later as long as the trial meets both of the following guidelines:


Procedure

  1. Stop all servers and applications on the WAS installation that is being upgraded.

  2. Start Installation Manager.

  3. Click Install.

    If you are prompted to authenticate, use the IBM ID and password that you registered with on the program website.

    Installation Manager searches its defined repositories for available packages.

  4. Select Application Server Network Deployment and the appropriate version, and click Next.
  5. Accept the terms in the license agreements, and click Next.
  6. Complete the following actions.

    1. Select Use the existing package group.

    2. Select the package group of the product that you want to upgrade.

      If you select an existing group that cannot be upgraded to the product that you are currently installing, an error will occur.

    3. Click Next.

    Installation Manager defaults to installing a new offering.

    To upgrade your existing installation, select the existing package group.

  7. Select any features to install, and click Next.

    Tip: We can run the Installation Manager later to modify this installation and add or remove features.

  8. Review the summary information, and click Install.

    • If the upgrade is successful, the program displays a message indicating that installation is successful.

      The program might also display important post-installation instructions as well.

    • If the installation is not successful, click View Log File to troubleshoot the problem.

  9. Select which tool to start when this upgrade is finished.

    • Select Profile Management Tool to create a profile to open the full Profile Management Tool and create a new profile when this installation is finished.

    • Select Profile Management Tool to create an application server profile for a development environment if you want to create an application server profile with settings appropriate for a development environment when this installation is finished.

      The development settings are appropriate for a development environment where frequent application updates are performed and system resources are at a minimum. Do not use the development settings for production servers.

    • Select None if you do not want to create a new profile when this installation is finished.

    Restriction: The option to launch the Profile Management Tool is only available when a version of WAS containing the Profile Management Tool is installed.

  10. Click Finish.

  11. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.
