Upgrade Paths

Within the same version, direct upgrade is allowed to any higher fix pack (e.g.: from 1.0.20.0 it is possible to directly upgrade to any 1.0.20.x fix pack).

The following table describes the upgrade paths between versions:

¹ Version 1.0.19.0+ requires at least 1.0.18.0 because of an upgrade to the configuration database.

Backup the Servers

It is highly recommended to perform a full backup (including the operating system) of all DPOD servers prior to upgrading, so the system can be restored in case of a failed upgrade.

In virtual environments, it is highly recommended to create snapshots of the virtual machines, which can be removed later once the upgrade is completed successfully.

Make Sure the System is Healthy and Ready for the Upgrade

1. Upgrade is possible only if the current installation is healthy.

2. Make sure all the servers are up and running, and that the Store status is green (in Store page).

3. Navigate to the Upgrade Assistant page and inspect the system status. In case this update includes a major version upgrade of the Store engine of DPOD, your system must first be ready for the upgrade as indicated in this page. If your system is still not ready for the upgrade, you may change the reindex options to accelerate the reindexing activity and get the system ready faster.
