Upgrade the cartridge from version 5.6.x to version 5.9.x

To upgrade from version 5.6.x:
1
Install the 5.9.x cartridge as you would a new cartridge. Do not delete or uninstall the previous version.
2
Use the Agent Setup wizard (Application Servers > Administration > Application Server Administration dashboard) to create a new installation. Creating the installation will upgrade the existing agents.
3
Manually delete the old 5.6.x agent.

Upgrade Foglight for IBM WebSphere MQ Server

The latest version of Foglight for IBM WebSphere MQ Server is 5.5.5.11.

Foglight for IBM WebSphere MQ Server 5.5.5.11 requires Management Server version 5.6.5 or later.

To upgrade Foglight for IBM WebSphere MQ Server to the latest version:
1
From the Agent Status dashboard (Administration > Agents > Agent Status), select and deactivate all MQAgent instances.
2
Install the 5.5.5.11 cartridge (MQ-5_5_5_11.car) on the Management Server. For cartridge installation instructions, see “Installing Foglight cartridges” in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.
3
Deploy the MQ Agent Package to the Agent Managers that are monitoring the MQ servers.
4
Activate the MQAgent instances.

Upgrade Foglight for PeopleSoft

The latest version of Foglight for PeopleSoft is version 5.6.13. Upgrades are supported from versions 5.6.12, 5.6.11, 5.6.10, 5.6.2.1, 5.6.2, 5.6.0, 5.5.2.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.0.1, and 5.2.6.

The Agent Manager must be installed on all the hosts that you want to monitor.

To upgrade Foglight for PeopleSoft:
1
It is recommended that users stop any running agent instances.
2
Install version 5.6.13 of the cartridge (.car file) on the Management Server.
Do not delete any of the old .car files installed on the server. At this stage the previous .car file is still in use by the server and any existing deployed agents.
 
* 
NOTE: When the Cartridge Confirmation dialog box appears, click OK. This action disables the previous versions of the agents.
After all agent instances are stopped, enable the new .car file. This automatically disables the previously installed .car file on the Management Server. The reason for splitting the install and the enable steps is to allow you an opportunity to stop existing agent instances before the new .car file is enabled. It is recommended that previously deployed agents be left in a stopped state until you redeploy the agent package using Step 3.
Redeploying the agent will cause the new proceduredefs changes to be propagated to agent instances.
3
Install the new Foglight for PeopleSoft agent package (denoted with the current version).
 
* 
NOTE: This step describes how to install the agent package using the command-line interface. You can also do this using the browser interface. For a procedure describing how to deploy agents using the browser interface, see Appendix: Deploy an agent package using the browser interface.
Depending on the hosts that you want to upgrade, use one of the following agent packages:
•
PSFTCartridge-<version>-Windows-AgentPackage
•
PSFTCartridge-<version>-AIX-AgentPackage
•
PSFTCartridge-<version>-HP-UXB-AgentPackage
•
PSFTCartridge-<version>-Linux-AgentPackage
•
PSFTCartridge-<version>-SunOS-AgentPackage
This list may not be complete. To obtain a complete list, run the following command:
UNIX®:
./fglcmd.sh -usr username -pwd userpassword -port 7777 -cmd agent:packages | grep 'Agent Package ID'
Windows®:
fglcmd.bat -usr username -pwd userpassword -port 7777 -cmd agent:packages | findstr /C:"Agent Package ID"
 
* 
NOTE: Before running fglcmd, you have to unzip <foglight_home>/tools/fglcmd.zip to a local directory, or to <foglight_home>/bin if you are going to use the Management Server machine. For more information, see the Foglight Command-line Reference Guide.
4
Wait as existing agents reconnect to ensure that duplicate hosts go away.
5
You are now ready to start your agent instances. You can start them manually at this stage. After these changes are reflected, you will see the agent instances restart. You can verify this by checking the logs or the dates of the files in the agent directory. At this stage if you have any errors, restart the Agent Manager to enable the upgraded agents to successfully send data to the Management Server.
