It is mandatory and highly recommended for customers running POM GA/SP1/SP2 on VP 5.1.x to upgrade to POM 20SP3 before
starting upgrade process, incase those customer willing to upgrade to POM 2.0SP4 on AAEP 6.0 platform. Please follow the following

Make sure current system is at POM 20SP3 level on VP 5.1.x system.
Before beginning with POM 20SP4 upgrade process login to system console as root/sroot user and stop POM server using
“service POM stop” command.
Take POM Database backup. In case you are the default Voice Portal database “VoicePortal” the POM database will also get
back up with Voice Portal database “VoicePortal”.
Please refer to the AAEP 6.0 documentation for “UpgradeGuide5-0Or5-1To6-0” guide and upgrade your VP 5.1.x(RHEL)
system to AAEP 6.0 (RHEL) system.
After successful Voice Portal to AAEP upgrade , edit “/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf” file and add POM server IP into the
file pg_hba.conf and restart postgres service using “service postgresql restart” command . This is useful only if POM
configured to local Postgres Database.
Examples:
host all
postgres xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx
md5
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the POM server IP address
host all
postgres xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx
md5
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Desktop IP address to
access Postgres DB using pgAdmin tool.
Delete following files and directories incase these exists on your system after successful upgrade to AAEP 6.0 (RHEL)
system:
a. if directory $CATALINA_HOME/lib/extensions/POM exists then remove it using “ rm –rf
$CATALINA_HOME/lib/extensions/POM” command .
b. If file /etc/init.d/POM exists then remove it using “ rm –rf /etc/init.d/POM” command.
Restart VPMS service using “service vpms restart” command.
Before upgrading to POM 20SP4 software, restore the POM database if you have different database for POM on local
Postgres DB. This step will not be required if we have configure POM server to Voice Portal default (VoicePortal) database
as the database was already got restored while upgrading to AAEP in step # 4 above.
Fresh Install POM 2.0 SP4, please refer to POM Implementation guide delivered with POM 2.0 SP4 software for detailed
installation instructions and reboot the system.
After reboot, reconfigure POM database (restored in step #8 above) using “./installDB.sh $POM_HOME” located in
$POM_HOME/bin folder, save the configuration without creating a new POM schema. Restart vpms service using “service
vpms restart” command.
Stop POM server, remove POM server and add POM server through web admin, this is require to exchange new Certificate
and Start POM server.
In POM SP4 we have included new column (enh_CCA_timeout ) in pim_campaign table, we have to manually add this
column in Database. No campaign is seen if this column is not added. To add this column connect to the database and use
“alter table pim_campaign add column enh_CCA_timeout integer not null default 5000;” command.
It is recommended to re-enter the SMS/Outcall login/password POM is using.
Example:
a. SMS server password “Home > System Configuration > SMS Server > Edit SMS Server” .
b. Outbound Calling password “Home > POM Configuration > POM Servers > Voice Servers > Edit Voice
Server”.
