In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, the Automation Assets (formerly known as Asset Repository) is managed through the IBM Automation Foundation Assets Operator. When manually upgrading Automation Assets, you need to update the Custom Resource (CR) associated with the Asset Repository.
The correct approach to manually upgrading the Automation Assets CR is to:
Navigate to the OpenShift Web Console.
Go to Operators → Installed Operators.
Find and select IBM Automation Foundation Assets Operator.
Locate the Asset Repository operand managed by this operator.
Edit the YAML definition of the Asset Repository CR to reflect the new version or required configuration changes.
Save the changes, which will trigger the update process.
This approach ensures that the Automation Assets component is upgraded correctly without disrupting the overall IBM Cloud Pak for Integration environment.
B. In OpenShift web console, navigate to the OperatorHub and edit the Automation foundation assets definition.
The OperatorHub is used for installing and subscribing to operators but does not provide direct access to modify Custom Resources (CRs) related to operands.
C. Open the terminal window and run "oc upgrade ..." command.
There is no oc upgrade command in OpenShift. Upgrades in OpenShift are typically managed through CR updates or Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).
D. Use the OpenShift web console to edit the YAML definition of the IBM Automation foundation assets operator.
Editing the operator’s YAML would affect the operator itself, not the Asset Repository operand, which is what needs to be upgraded.
