Upgrading the containerized server

You can upgrade your containerized version of the IBM UrbanCode™ Deploy server 6.2.7 to the 7.0.0 version in an IBM Cloud Private cluster.

Before you begin

Log in to the IBM Cloud Private cluster where your UrbanCode Deploy server container is running.
Note: The IBM Cloud Private cluster administrator will need to follow the directions for loading the PassPort Advantage archive file for the containerized UCD 7.0.0 product. For more information see “Installing bundled products” at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSBS6K_2.1.0.3/installing/install_entitled_workloads.html

Procedure

  1. Once logged in, from the menu in the upper left corner of the screen, go to Workloads > Helm Releases.
  2. Find the Helm release that is associated with your UrbanCode Deploy server.
  3. On the far right of the line showing your Helm release, click the three dots in the Action column, then select Upgrade.
  4. Once on the Upgrade screen, specify the version of the Helm chart you want to use for the upgrade (2.0 is the latest version of the Helm chart for UrbanCode Deploy 7.0), then fill in the values for the fields in the chart. Specify the UrbanCode Deploy server image tag you want to use as 7.0.0.0.982083.
  5. Click Upgrade.

Results

After install is complete, your existing instance of UrbanCode Deploy server will be stopped, and then the new instance will be started using the values you specified, including using the new UrbanCode Deploy 7.0 image. All upgrade actions will be taken care of automatically (database upgrade, etc). Support for UrbanCode Deploy 7.0 agent communications is enabled by default. Optionally, you can select added support for logging and metering.
Note: Support for running UrbanCode Deploy 7.0 on OpenShift and IBM Cloud Public is also available. For information seehttps://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/2018/05/07/new-support-running-uc-deploy-openshift/
