Upgrading FCM

This section guides you to upgrade from a working version of FCM to the latest version. This is intended for existing clients who have already installed FCM and engineers responsible for installation, upgrade, and day-to-day maintenance of the application.

The configuration is partially in configuration files and partially in the database, the trend is to have the full configuration in the database. Hence, while doing the upgrade, the configuration items should be handled on a case-by-case basis.

FCM supports JDK8 and Open JDK11 (from the R23 version). WildFly 11 and WebLogic supports Open JDK11 but WebSphere supports only JDK 8.

Upgrade Approach

Upgrade Flow

When updating from an older version of FCM to the latest version, three primary activities take place: backing up your complete database and engines, upgrading your database, and installing latest FCM on a new system. The newly installed FCM version can connect to the upgraded database. The architecture diagram below helps you to understand the upgrade process.

Pre-requisites

• FCM should be installed, up and running.
• Download the latest version of FCM package from Temenos Distribution team by making a request at distribution@temenos.com.
