Upgrading from 21.0.3

If you installed Cloud Pak for Business Automation capabilities from 21.0.3-IF031 or later in a production deployment and you want to continue to use them in 24.0.0, you can directly upgrade them.

Before you begin

To prevent any connection problems during the upgrade, make sure that the passwords that you use, for databases and LDAP, are not about to expire and refresh them if they are. The LDAP bind secret "ldap-bind-secret" is set in the lc_bind_secret parameter in the following ldap_configuration section.
ldap_configuration:
   lc_bind_secret: ldap-bind-secret
Important: If you included IBM FileNet® Content Manager in your deployment and the Content Platform Engine application server uses LDAP instead of SCIM as the directory configuration, you must change the bind user credentials in the FileNet domain before you change the credentials in the directory server. For more information, see Update directory service bind user credentials.

About this task

If you installed 21.0.3 by using the script or Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform console, you can only upgrade to 24.0.0 by using the scripts. Upgrading to 24.0.0 by using the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform console is not supported.
