Conclusion
In this chapter, we covered the Bill of Materials and the upgrade installation of IBM BAW 21.0.3 (Business Automation Workflow).
It will upgrade to version 21.0.3 from 18.0.0.x, 19.0.0.x, 20.0.0.x, or version 21.0.1. We also covered the supporting software required for the related IBM Information Management Products to be installed, with the download site URLs, Product Codes, Descriptions and size and name of the download gzip tar files for each Software Download.
In the next chapter, we cover the IBM Cloud based systems; IBM Cloud Private and the IBM FileNet P8 CPIT Installation; Installation of Eclipse Codewind, with Docker Compose using IBM Cloud Private CE and IBM Cloud Private P8 Docker Container CPIT Installation for the preparation of a new Object Store.
Points to remember
• Remember to back up the whole system before upgrading.
• Remember, this upgrade to version 21.0.3 only works successfully from Db2 Version 10.5.0.0 (unless the option to defer schema creation is set).
• Ignore the Check for Other Versions, Fixes and Extensions button on IBM Installation Manager for the upgrade.
• The supporting IBM Software Packages are only included to support the Licensee’s use of the Principal IBM Upgrade Program under the Agreement.
• The End Of Support for Java 1.7, means the upgrade to Java 1.8 is required.
• DB2 11.1 is the earliest fully supported database version.
IBM announced Continuing Support for Db2 versions 8.2, 9.1 and 9.5 will be discontinued on September 30, 2022. See https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/db2-continuing-support
