Installation
scenarios
l
Upgrading from ALM 15.5.x or earlier to ALM 24.1. When
upgrading a copy of an existing Site Administration database
schema, consider the following:
l
If you are using the existing settings as default, the
default deployment path will be the same as the path used
in the previous installation. This path can be changed.
l
If you are not using the existing settings as default, the
default deployment path will be C:\ProgramData\Micro
Focus\ALM. This path can be changed.
Note: The repository path of the upgraded projects will
be the same as the path used in the previous installation.
After upgrading, the newly created projects will use the
repository path that was defined during the current
installation.
If you want to use the same repository path as it was
before (default: C:\ProgramData\HP\ALM\repository),
make sure to set it correctly during installation.

l
When you start the ALM installer, the Java you are using is
the one specified by JAVA_HOME. This variable is set when
installing Java. For details, see "Java Installation" on
page42.
l
During ALM installation, the path you specified for the JDK or
JRE folder is written to the MICRO_FOCUS_JAVA_PATH variable.
It indicates the Java path used by ALM. For details, see
"Installing ALM: Windows" on the next page.
To check the value of this variable, open Advanced system
settings, and in the system variables table, find MICRO_
FOCUS_JAVA_PATH. For details, see the Microsoft
