Pre-Upgrade Tasks

If your application runs as a standard service that already accounts for interdependencies (with other services) and requires no special handling, you can specify it on the Application Services page of the Active Upgrade console during the configuration process. On the Application Services page, you can select each service you want to manage from the list of services on your system, and, when you start the upgrade process, the Active Upgrade console automatically starts and stops these services at the appropriate times. See “Selecting Application Services to Control” on page 3-9for more information.

Custom actions

If you have a custom application or integrated applications from several different software vendors, and you have special executable files that start and stop these applications, you can specify the executable files on the Custom Actions page of the Active Upgrade console during the configuration process. Using the controls on the Custom Actions page, you can specify when your executable files will run during the upgrade process, and, if you have several files, you can specify the order in which they will run. See “Configuring Custom Actions” on page 3-12for more information.
