Upgrade Requirements
32
6.5.1.1 Upgrade Utilities Required
Upgrade Requirements Upgrade paths and relative complexity Maximo 4.11 to 5.2 Maximo 5.2 to 6.2 Maximo 6.2.8 to Maximo to Maximo to 7.6.1 Maximo 7.6.0.x to 7.6.1 Note: Current paths to to 7.6.1 or 7.6.0.x to 7.6.1 Upgrade Utilities Required
33
Upgrade Requirements Maximo 6.2 to 7.6
Maximo 6.2, please note that Maximo is the prerequisite/minimum version and patch you need to have applied prior to upgrading to 7.1 To upgrade from 6.2 to 7.6.1, you will follow this process: Apply Maximo fix pack Install 7.1 which includes the 6-7 upgrade program Apply Maximo Base Services fix pack Upgrade v6 to Install 7.5 which includes the upgrade program
34
Upgrade Requirements To upgrade from 6.2 to 7.6, you will follow this process (cont.): Apply Maximo fix pack Upgrade v7.1 to Install which includes the upgrade program Upgrade v7.5 to 7.6.1
35
Upgrade Planning
36
Upgrade Planning Data size and archiving Integration Points
More data = longer upgrade Improves application performance Integration Points Identify integration points in existing system Evaluate each integration to determine requirement Document change requirements from existing to new
37
Upgrade Planning Customizations
Evaluate new product functionality to determine if it now addresses the custom requirement Customization work is work done outside the configuration framework provided with the product Java class extensions Custom Workflow Code or content added
38
Upgrade Planning Time requirements
Deadline for go live Downtime restrictions When do you need to be on the new release How long does the database upgrade take How long will it take to upgrade integrations How long will it take to upgrade customizations How long will reports take Technological / reporting requirements
39
Upgrade Planning User training Administrative users
TPAE, security, crons, escalations, Workflow, performance monitoring and tuning General users Reporting Focus groups users Call centers Accounting Management
40
Reporting Reporting Requirements Reporting Server Changes

52
Upgrade Process (from pre 7.6.0)
53
Upgrade Process Maximo 6 – 7.1 Upgrade
From the Maximo folders run Upgradeui utility Integrity Checker – report and repair mode, source meta-data integrity Validation – source versus target meta-data integrity Upgrade – transforms database to version 7 structure Updatedb Transforms database to fix pack Note: Integrity Checker You may be asked to run Database Configuration for your database Only run the Database Configuration from Maximo 6.2.8
54
Upgrade Process Maximo 6 – 7.1 Upgrade
Add new tables and columns, using metadoc Process callouts for tables, logically sequenced Delete obsolete tables and columns, using metadoc metadoc defines database differences Industry solutions create metadocs and callouts Industry solutions recognized by maxvars
55
Upgrade Process Maximo 7.1.1.13 – 7.5.0.11 Upgrade
Database is upgraded via updated utility invoked automatically by the installer Only after ALL products are installed at 7.5 level Option is available to have it done only after admin workstation is upgraded (defer updatedb) If not automated by the installer, you must run the following manually Updatedb If languages other than English are deployed: run Tdtoolkit for each PMP installed Build and deploy the EAR file(s)
56
Upgrade Process Maximo 7.1 to 7.5 Upgrade
Maximo folder is renamed to pre_75_maximo If just Maximo is deployed: The upgrade, updatedb, and EAR deployment can be done automatically during the installation at one time If multiple products: Defer database update and application deployment Install add-ons and/or industry solutions
57
Upgrade Process Launch 7.5 install and select database update and application deployment Validate integrity of Maximo 7.5 database Run Maximo 7.5 Integrity Checker
58
Upgrade Process Maximo 7.1.1.13 – 7.5.0.11 Upgrade
Product upgrade can be done as 2 ‘manual’ steps Apply the 7.5 files on the administrative workstation Manually run updatedb, tdtoolkit, and build and deploy EAR files Note: In a multi product installation, 7.5 version of all products must be installed first. Only after all products are at 7.5, then updatedb and EAR deployment can be invoked by the 7.5 installer
59
Upgrade Process Maximo 7.5.0.11 – 7.6.1 Upgrade
Database is upgraded via updatedb utility invoked by the configuration tool Only after ALL products are installed in environment that exist in 7.5 environment If not automated by the tool, you must run the following manually Updatedb If languages other than English are deployed run Tdtoolkit for each component installed Build and deploy the EAR file(s)
60
Upgrade Process Maximo 7.5.0.11 – 7.6.1 Upgrade
Validate integrity of current Maximo 7.5 database Run Maximo 7.5 Integrity Checker and fix all errors If required, upgrade/install middleware components and Operating Systems Patch or upgrade Operating System Upgrade database server Upgrade LDAP/directory server Upgrade WebLogic
61
Upgrade Process Maximo 7.5.0.11 – 7.6.1 Upgrade
If required, upgrade/install middleware components and Operating Systems (cont.) Deploy WebSphere 9.0 Install a fresh instance of WebSphere 9.0 Configure via the configuration tool If manual WebSphere configuration, apply recommended performance settings
62
Upgrade Process Maximo 7.5.0.11 – 7.6.1 Upgrade
New installation of Maximo 7.6.1 If just Maximo is deployed The upgrade, updatedb, and EAR deployment can be done by the configuration tool immediately after the installation If multiple products and/or customizations Do not run configuration tool right after installation to do database update Install add-ons and/or industry solutions
63
Upgrade Process Migrate customizations
