Upgrading SPSS Modeler from Version 4.7 to Version 4.8

An instance administrator can upgrade SPSS Modeler from Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.7 to Version 4.8.

Who needs to complete this task?

Instance administrator To upgrade SPSS Modeler, you must be an instance administrator. An instance administrator has permission to manage software in the following projects:

The operators project for the instance: The operators for this instance of Cloud Pak for Data are installed in the operators project. In the upgrade commands, the ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERATORS} environment variable refers to the operators project.
The operands project for the instance: The Cloud Pak for Data control plane and the services for this instance of Cloud Pak for Data are installed in the operands project. In the upgrade commands, the ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} environment variable refers to the operands project.

When do you need to complete this task?

Review the following options to determine whether you need to complete this task:

If you want to upgrade the Cloud Pak for Data control plane and one or more services at the same time, follow the process in Upgrading an instance of Cloud Pak for Data instead.
If you didn't upgrade SPSS Modeler when you upgraded the Cloud Pak for Data control plane, complete this task to upgrade SPSS Modeler.
Repeat as needed If you are responsible for multiple instances of Cloud Pak for Data, you can repeat this task to upgrade more instances of SPSS Modeler on the cluster.

Information you need to complete this task

Review the following information before you upgrade SPSS Modeler:

Version requirements: All the components that are associated with an instance of Cloud Pak for Data must be installed at the same release. For example, if the Cloud Pak for Data control plane is at Version 4.8.7, you must upgrade SPSS Modeler to Version 4.8.7.

Environment variables

The commands in this task use environment variables so that you can run the commands exactly as written.

If you don't have the script that defines the environment variables, see Setting up installation environment variables.
To use the environment variables from the script, you must source the environment variables before you run the commands in this task. For example, run:
```
source ./cpd_vars.sh
```

Storage requirements: You don't need to specify storage when you upgrade SPSS Modeler.

Before you begin

This task assumes that the following prerequisites are met:

Prerequisite	Where to find more information
The cluster meets the minimum requirements for SPSS Modeler.	If this task is not complete, see System requirements.
The workstation from which you will run the upgrade is set up as a client workstation and the following command-line interfaces: Cloud Pak for Data CLI: `cpd-cli` OpenShift® CLI: `oc`	If this task is not complete, see Updating client workstations.
The Cloud Pak for Data control plane is upgraded.	If this task is not complete, see Upgrading an instance of Cloud Pak for Data.
For environments that use a private container registry, such as air-gapped environments, the SPSS Modeler software images are mirrored to the private container registry.	If this task is not complete, see Mirroring images to a private container registry.
For environments that use a private container registry, such as air-gapped environments, the `cpd-cli` is configured to pull the `olm-utils-v2` image from the private container registry.	If this task is not complete, see Pulling the olm-utils-v2 image from the private container registry.

Prerequisite services

Before you upgrade SPSS Modeler, ensure that the following services are upgraded and running:

Watson™ Studio

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to upgrade SPSS Modeler:

Upgrading the service
Validating the upgrade
What to do next

Upgrading the service

Important: The Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) objects for SPSS Modeler were updated when you upgraded the Cloud Pak for Data platform. The

cpd-cli
manage
apply-olm

updates all of the OLM objects in the operators project at the same time.

To upgrade SPSS Modeler:

Log the cpd-cli in to the Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform cluster:
```
${CPDM_OC_LOGIN}
```
Remember: CPDM_OC_LOGIN is an alias for the cpd-cli manage login-to-ocp command.

Update the custom resource for SPSS Modeler.

cpd-cli manage apply-cr \
--components=spss \
--release=${VERSION} \
--cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--license_acceptance=true \
--upgrade=true

Validating the upgrade

SPSS Modeler is upgraded when the apply-cr command returns:

[SUCCESS]... The apply-cr command ran successfully

If you want to confirm that the custom resource status is Completed, you can run the cpd-cli manage get-cr-status command:

cpd-cli manage get-cr-status \
--cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--components=spss

What to do next

SPSS Modeler is ready to use. To get started with SPSS Modeler, see Creating SPSS Modeler flows.
