13.1 Supported Upgrade Paths

All PlateSpin components in an existing PlateSpin Migration Factory deployment must be upgraded from version 2019.2 to version 2019.5.

13.1.1 PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance

PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2019.5 supports the replacement of an existing PTM 2019.2 Appliance with a PTM 2019.5 Appliance. Upgrades from other prior releases are not supported.

For this release, the database software version has changed from PostgreSQL 9.6 running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3 to PostgreSQL 10 running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15. Instead of copying Disk 2 and using the existing database file with the replacement VM, you will export data from the old PTM database and import it to the new PTM database on the replacement Appliance.

NOTE:PlateSpin Transformation Manager does not support an in-place version upgrade of PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2019.2 software on the existing appliance VM running SLES 12 SP3.

13.1.2 PlateSpin Migrate Connector

PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.5 is a component of PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2019.5. PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.5 runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15. Direct upgrades are not supported.

NOTE:PlateSpin Migrate Connector does not support an in-place version upgrade of PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.2 software on an existing SLES 12 SP3 Connector host server.

PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.5 is included on the PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2019.5 Appliance. After you deploy the replacement Appliance, you will apply the old Connector settings to the Connector instance on the replacement Appliance.

You must upgrade the operating system to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 on existing remote PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.2 host servers, or deploy a replacement host server. Configure the replacement Connector instances to use the same settings as the instances they replace.

13.1.3 PlateSpin Migrate

PlateSpin Transformation Manager 2019.5 and PlateSpin Migrate Connector 2019.5 are compatible with PlateSpin Migrate 2019.5. In a PlateSpin Migration Factory deployment, you must also upgrade PlateSpin Migrate servers.

PlateSpin Migrate supports upgrade from PlateSpin Migrate 2019.2 to PlateSpin Migrate 2019.5. Other direct upgrades are not supported.
