6.1 Supported Upgrade Paths

PlateSpin Transformation Manager is integrated with one or more PlateSpin Migrate Connectors. In a PlateSpin Migration Factory deployment, it is also integrated with one or more PlateSpin Migrate servers. A PTM upgrade involves upgrading all three components.

6.1.1 PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance

PlateSpin Transformation Manager supports upgrade from PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2 to PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2019.2. Other direct upgrades are not supported.

To upgrade, you use the download OVF file to create a new appliance VM and re-use the existing Disk 2 (/vastorage). When PTM completes the upgrade, PTM applies the configuration settings stored on Disk 2 (/vastorage) to the software on the replacement appliance VM. It applies the database schema changes to the PTM database on the disk. See Section 7.0, Upgrading PlateSpin Transformation Manager.

NOTE:PlateSpin Transformation Manager does not support an in-place version upgrade of PlateSpin Transformation Manager software on the existing appliance VM.

6.1.2 PlateSpin Migrate Connector

PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2019.2 Appliance includes PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.2. When PTM completes the Appliance upgrade, PTM applies the Connector configuration settings stored on Disk 2 (/vastorage) to the Connector software on the replacement appliance VM.

For other Connector instances in your migration environment, PlateSpin Migrate Connector supports in-place upgrades from PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2 to PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.2. Other direct upgrades are not supported. See Section 8.0, Upgrading PlateSpin Migrate Connector on Host Servers.

NOTE:Ensure that you upgrade the PTM Appliance before you begin upgrades for your remote Connector instances.
