the Installation and Commissioning document you receive with the

upgrade.

Updating the SIP Application Module software

Administrators can update the software version of the SIP Application

Module using the System Management Console. The update can be

either an up- or down-version of the software.

Updating the software affects the operation of the component’s hosted

services during the procedure. This process automatically fills the

service property fields of the updated component with the configured

values from the previous version.

The update introduces new functionality across many components

without affecting network stability. If a server update fails, you have a

choice to roll back or not. For more information on the update

procedure, refer to the MCP System Management Console Basics

document.

at the System Management Console

1 A load can be either up-versioned or down-versioned. In either

case, updating a load from one version to another results in

stopping and deleting the previously added version, adding the

new version and auto-launching the new version. Therefore,

there is no need to manually LOCK and UNLOCK the service.

The steps involved in an update are described below.

From the System Management Console, under the

Components folder, select the name configured at deployment,

AppSvr in the example shown in Figure 1.
