Upgrading Components
Overview
This chapter describes upgrade procedures for these components:
If you are using work groups, the runtime user validation must be configured after upgrading from CWA (TES) 5.3.1, 6.1.x, 
or 6.2.1 to 6.3. See this section:
Note: The CWA Master and Client Manager must be on the SAME release to ensure compatibility and functionality. 
Note: Starting with the 6.1 release, the Master running on Windows no longer uses database aliases as created by the 
Database Alias utility to connect to an alternate database. Instead the database connection information used by the 
Master in 6.1 and later, is stored in the master.props file in the config directory where the Master files are installed. The 
JdbcURL line in the master.props file is used to specify the type of database, the database server location and the port 
number used to connect to the database server. See 
 for 
more information.
Upgrade Prerequisites
Always make a backup of your data before upgrading.
Set your system queue to 0.
Stop all CWA components (Masters, Client Manager, Fault Monitor, Clients, etc.)
Be sure that your system meets the minimum hardware/software requirements for the latest version. The 
hardware/software requirements may have changed from the last version.
