Banner SSB9 Configuration File Updater
After an ESM upgrade, we need to login to the jobsub server, find the deployment directory and then perform a ton of find-and-replaces for the various required parameters such as CAS Server location, PageBuilder directory root, etc.
In an effort to simplify the lives for Banner Admins everywhere, we wrote a VERY BARE BONES script that will perform some find/replaces on a Banner SSB9 configuration file.
For all you Banner clients, one of the "rare" Banner upgrades which have been relatively easy was for ESM. You basically click upgrade, wait a bit, and then you are done.
However, as of version 23.2+, that is no longer the case. Starting with 23.2+, ESM longer uses the Jenkins "Copy-to-slave" plugin. Instead it uses a new plugin for agents which requires a Jenkins upgrade.
Unfortunately the Jenkins upgrade also requires a Java upgrade/installation on the ESM server and all agent nodes.
Thus if you are planning to update ESM to version 23.2 or above, you should upgrade Jenkins version 2.401.1 first.
Are you having trouble understanding all the new terms for Banner 9? For example ESM, Application Navigator, SSOManager? We did for a long while.
