When you upgrade from version 8.1.4.4 or later, the installer automatically creates a backup of your license usage data. The system must convert the data in the entire log to the required format. Depending on the size of your server log file, the process can take awhile for the initial conversion of the data. When you select Start reporting for the first time, the log file conversion process begins. If the 8.1.4 agent is configured with ART, when you upgrade to 8.1.4.9, the tool shows the reporting status as Not Running.
However, if you are currently using ART version 8.1.4.4 or later, you can upgrade to version 8.1.4.9 using the IBM Installation Manager Update option. For detailed steps, see the Upgrading section of the IBM Knowledge Center. Ensure that you select the option to migrate data from the old installation location during the installation.
When you install version 8.1.4.9, the installer migrates the data from the old installation directory into the new installation directory. After you uninstall the previous version, the data in the installation directory remains. You must uninstall the previous version of ART. If you are currently using ART version 8.1.4.2 or 8.1.4.3, to upgrade to version 8.1.4.9, you cannot use the IBM Installation Manager Update option to upgrade.
Important: If you are upgrading ART from version 8.1.4 to 8.1.4.9, you must upgrade the ART component first, before you upgrade the agent.
Otherwise, failure may occur during license administration and usage reporting.Īdditional notes: Upgrade the agent and ART to version 8.1.4.9 to obtain the RFE and improvements that are included in this release.
