OMNM 6.5.3 Installation Guide 101
How To:
Perform Patch Upgrades
The patch process for patching the web portal is as follows:
1 Copy the *.ddp and *.ocp files to the installation root directory.
2 Copy the patched NetViewFactory.war and synergy-tomcat-xxxxx.zip to the installation root.
These must replace any old files in the installation package that are not on the installed
instance.
3 Re-run the installation.
If you know there were no changes to the user interface side and only the backend bridge
(NetViewFactory) then you can shut down your application server and replace the
NetViewFactory.war in the
oware/jboss-x.x/../deploy directory and then restart the
application server.
NOTE:
OpenManage Network Manager changes the port for Web Services from 80 to 8089.

Manager on a Linux machine:

3 Back up the database, and any other resources that need manual installation. Consult Release
notes for a list of these.
4 Proceed with the upgrade.
