Upgrade Manager

Longitude will monitor each of its components for performance and connectivity.

The 5 Longitude components are:

• Consolidator
• Rule Engine
• Statistics Server
• Upgrade Manager
• Web UI

To prevent "out of memory" issues during an upgrade, you can increase the maximum amount of memory the Upgrade Manager is allowed to use. This is done by modifying the Longitude\ApplicationManagerMain.lax file. Edit the file to add in or modify the line in bold below, between the LAX.NL.JAVA.LAUNCHER.MAIN.METHOD and the LAX.NL.VALID.VM.LIST sections. After the edit, please restart the Upgrade Manager service.

# LAX.NL.JAVA.LAUNCHER.MAIN.METHOD
# --------------------------------

The Upgrade Manager may fail to start during the Linux Agent install. If this occurs you will see an error in the Manage Upgrades function on the Management Station regarding connecting to the Upgrade Manager on the agent. You can start the Upgrade Manager on the agent manually by running the following command from the Longitude/bin directory:

firenze_appman start

When there is a Longitude upgrade available, Heroix will send a notification e-mail with the details of the update to the contact on file for your company.

You can also check the New Patch field in the Manage Upgrades function to see if an update is available. If you are not set up to upgrade automatically (the default), a New Patch number that is different from the Current Patch number indicates that there are upgrades available to you. The Upgrade Patch Description field includes notes about the changes that the patch includes.
