Updating Enterprise

Follow this procedure to apply maintenance packs or patches to Oracle BPM Enterprise.

You perform the Enterprise update procedure from Admin Center.

Before updating Enterprise, check which version and edition you currently have. On the upper right corner of the main window, click About.

To update Enterprise:

You cannot update Enterprise while BPM Web Applications are running. If the BPM Web Applications are running, click Stop BPM Web Applications ().
Note: If any process execution engines are running, you must also stop them in order to perform the upgrade. First stop the engines from Process Administrator, and then stop the Web Applications from Admin Center.
Note: If the updater service is running, you must also stop this service. In the Windows Services console, this is called the Oracle BPM 10.3 DatawareHouse Service. In UNIX you must execute the following command:
```
<ORABPM_HOME>/bin/oraclebpmwarehouse.sh stop
```
Where <ORABPM_HOME> is the folder where Enterprise is located.
In the Admin Center main window, click Configuration (). The Configuration dialog box will appear.
Click the rightmost tab, Service Pack Updates. You may need to click on the right arrow button so this tab comes into view.
Click Local Update. If this button is disabled, you need to stop the BPM Web Applications. The Open dialog box is displayed.
Specify the update (.upd) file and click Open. The update process runs, and Admin Center automatically restarts for the update to take effect.
If you have deployed Oracle BPM to an application server, you must generate new .war or .ear files for the applications and re-deploy. For further information, see the Enterprise Configuration Guide.

Once the update is complete, you may have to perform additional steps, particularly if you have deployed to an application server. These steps, if required, are described in the Release Notes.
