Requirements for upgrading Broker
Use this guide in conjunction with the Upgrading Software AG Products documentation.
If you need to install Broker 10.5 on a different machine than the older Broker, then use the same host name that you used for the old machine. So, you need not modify your territory/cluster setup, connection aliases, or Integration Server Messaging settings.
In the webMethods 9.7 and later releases, the Broker release number is still 9.6 and is the same release that was available with the webMethods 10.5 release. If you have Broker 10.5 and it resides on its own machine, you can continue using it with your new products. Regardless of whether you install a new Broker or not, however, you must perform tasks later in this guide for Broker.
