Fleet of devices using a workflow
To use the existing workflow to upgrade a solution on a fleet of devices, determine what changes are
needed to the workflow. The sample workflow has the following groups:
• Apply Install Workflow
• Echo Installed
• Needs Solution
• Potential Devices
The following changes are needed to accommodate a solution upgrade:
1. Edit the Install Echo Solution template to install the new version.
2. Edit the Needs Solution group filter to test for the fully specified Echo name, including the version.
3. Edit the group filter for the Echo Installed group to also test for the Echo version number.
4. Remove the old version of the Echo solution from all the devices in the Echo Installed group.
5. HP Web Jetadmin applies the new workflow.
Change the configuration or license parameters with HP Web Jetadmin
After a solution is installed, it might be necessary to change the configuration or license parameters,
which are the URLs and optional credentials supplied when the solution is installed.
One way to accomplish this is to uninstall the solution and then reinstall it with the new parameters.
However, this approach might cause a loss of internal solution data.
A better approach is to edit the solution configuration or license parameters. For more information
about unsetting the parameters, see
Unset the configuration or license parameters with HP Web
Jetadmin. This approach updates the solution parameters without adversely affecting other solution
characteristics.
Single device
In this example, the location of the configuration depot is being changed from http://oldconfigdepot
to http://newconfigdepot.
1. Make sure the device is not in the workflow.
Note In the installation workflow created previously, if the device that needs to be edited is in
the Apply Install Workflow group, the workflow tries to reinstall the old solution version
with the old configuration or license parameters while they are being changed. Remove
the device from the workflow by removing it from the Apply Install Workflow group.
2. Select the device in the All Devices list.
3. Click the Solutions tab.
4. Select the device in the Solutions tab, and then click the Edit button.
5. Enter the URL or credential changes needed.
6. Click the Apply to selected device button.
7. Finish the Edit Solution wizard.
8. Make sure that the task completed successfully.
Fleet of devices using a workflow
The same example as for a single device is used here—the location of the configuration depot is
being changed from http://oldconfigdepot to http://newconfigdepot.
