Which statement is true regarding an upgrade of App Connect Operators?

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I), operators—including the App Connect Operator—are managed through Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) in Red Hat OpenShift. OLM provides two upgrade approval strategies:

Automatic: The operator is upgraded as soon as a new compatible version becomes available.

Manual: An administrator must manually approve the upgrade.

The App Connect Operator supports automatic upgrades when configured with the Automatic approval strategy during installation or later through OperatorHub settings. If this setting is enabled, OpenShift will detect new compatible versions and upgrade the operator without requiring manual intervention.

B. The setting for automatic upgrades can only be specified at the time the App Connect Operator is installed.

Incorrect, because the approval strategy can be modified later in OpenShift’s OperatorHub or via CLI.

C. Once the App Connect Operator is installed, the approval strategy cannot be modified.

Incorrect, because OpenShift allows administrators to change the approval strategy at any time after installation.

D. There is no option to require manual approval for updating the App Connect Operator.

Incorrect, because OLM provides both manual and automatic approval options. If manual approval is set, the administrator must manually approve each upgrade.
