Chapter 6: <strong>Upgrade</strong> Planning<br />
Introduction<br />
The general rule for upgrades is:<br />
● Components that are version 8.0.n can be upgraded to <strong>8.5</strong>. These are referred to as<br />
Version 8 installations. See “Upgrading Version 8 Domains <strong>and</strong> Tools” on page 173.<br />
● Components that are version 7.5.n or 7.6.n can be upgraded to <strong>8.5</strong>. These are referred<br />
to as Version 7 installations. See “Upgrading from 7.5 or 7.6 to <strong>8.5</strong>” on page 187.<br />
● Components that are version 7.0.2 or earlier should upgrade to 8.0, <strong>and</strong> then upgrade<br />
to this release.<br />
Some product versions represent transition points. They are exceptions to the rule:<br />
● End-of-Life products — <strong>Sonic</strong> Workbench <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sonic</strong> ESB Version 8 deployment<br />
editions do not provide upgrades for <strong>Sonic</strong> XML Server, <strong>Sonic</strong> Orchestration Server,<br />
or <strong>Sonic</strong> Collaboration Server in development or deployment installations.<br />
Contact your <strong>Progress</strong> <strong>Sonic</strong> representative before you upgrade any domains,<br />
configurations, or physically upgrade installation locations that involve <strong>Sonic</strong> XML<br />
Server, <strong>Sonic</strong> Orchestration Server, or <strong>Sonic</strong> Collaboration Server.<br />
● Change in default SSL provider — <strong>Sonic</strong> no longer packages RSA libraries in its<br />
releases. If you were using RSA <strong>and</strong> achieving FIPS compliance through the<br />
advanced broker setting ENABLE_TLSV1_ONLY, you need to select specific cipher suites.<br />
See the release note on this matter. (RSA libraries can be used <strong>and</strong> are available from<br />
RSA Security.)<br />
Planning <strong>Sonic</strong> <strong>Upgrade</strong>s<br />
Before you start upgrades, get prepared.<br />
Getting Familiar with <strong>Sonic</strong> <strong>8.5</strong><br />
<strong>Sonic</strong> <strong>8.5</strong> introduces several new features. These are outlined in the <strong>Progress</strong> <strong>Sonic</strong><br />
Update Bulletin. You might want to install <strong>Sonic</strong> <strong>8.5</strong> in a testbed environment to explore<br />
the new features, <strong>and</strong> learn from its documentation set before performing upgrades.<br />
License Requirements<br />
License keys (control numbers) for <strong>Sonic</strong> <strong>8.5</strong> are required to perform Domain Manager<br />
installations—<strong>Sonic</strong> Workbench, <strong>Sonic</strong>MQ Development, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sonic</strong> Domain features.<br />
No earlier license keys are valid in the <strong>8.5</strong> installation <strong>and</strong> upgrade process.<br />
