Installing a new backup master domain manager

Upgrading your old master domain manager, which is now your current backup master domain manager to the latest product version level.

About this task

The graphic displays the typical flow of an upgrade procedure beginning with creating the HCL Workload Automation administrative user, installing WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base, installing the new backup master domain manager, completing the security configuration, and uninstalling the old backup master domain manager.
Now that you have a new master domain manager installed at the latest product version level, you can upgrade your old, previous version 9.3 or 9.4 master domain manager, which is currently your backup master domain manager, to the latest product version to become the new backup master domain manager. You do this by installing a new backup master domain manager. Ensure you specify the same user as the one specified for the master domain manager.
Note: If you want to minimize the number of workstations required, you can install the new backup master domain manager on the same workstation where your old master domain manager was running. Ensure you stop any running processes related to the previous product version before installing the new backup master domain manager. See Stopping scheduling processes.
