Upgrading Agents

After upgrading to a new version of the server, you must upgrade your agents from the Deployment Automation web application.

To upgrade your agents:

  1. Navigate to the Management > Resources > Agents.
  2. Select all agents.
  3. Click the Upgrade Selected button.
All existing agents using Java 6 and greater will be upgraded by the server.
Note:
  • Deployment Automation version 4.5 and above agents use Java 6 and above. Any agents using Java 6 or above can be upgraded and do not have to be uninstalled.
  • Any 4.0.1 and prior agent using Java 5 cannot be upgraded. Most of the new functionality will not work with these agents. You must uninstall the agents using Java 5 before installing the Java 6 and above agents.
