gateway91
This section describes how to upgrade to Release 9.1.01. These instructions apply to:
  • Hardware appliances
  • Virtual appliances
  • Software Gateways
IMPORTANT:
 Release 9.1.01 can
only
 be installed on a version 9.1.00 Gateway. It cannot be used to upgrade any other Gateway version.
Background
The 
CA API Gateway
 is designed around two major components: Platform and Application.
  • The 
    Platform
     consists of the server that runs the API Gateway appliance and the dependency applications and tools that are located on it. This includes (but not limited to) the Linux kernel, OpenSSL, and MySQL.
  • The 
    Application
     is the Java component of the API Gateway. It comprises the Oracle Java JDK and the Java programs that comprise the API Management suite.
These two components are designed to be updated separately, allowing systems administrators to upgrade the Platform without upgrading the Application. This ensures that the 
CA API Gateway
 remains compliant with security protocols and is protected against common threats. Fully upgrading the Gateway involves upgrading both the Platform and Application.
