Upgrade Assistant
- Sara Weisz
- Amit Munwes
The Upgrade Assistant screen is accessible by logging into the Web Console and navigating to [Manage→DPOD Health→Upgrade Assistant].
Some DPOD versions include new versions of the Store engine, which might require some of the existing data to be reindexed to a newer format or structure. The Upgrade Assistant prepares the DPOD instance for upcoming upgrades by reindexing data in the background (if required) while DPOD is up and running.
The screen contains three sections:
- Upgrade Assistant - Showing whether the DPOD instance is ready for upgrade or not.
- Reindex Options - Showing configuration details that determines the reindexing process behavior.
- Reindex Status - Showing a detailed status of the reindexing.
Upgrade Assistant
The Upgrade Assistant section of the screen shows whether the DPOD instance is ready for upgrade or not.
The table below describes the possible Upgrade Assistant Statuses:
Icon | Description |
|---|---|
| The system is ready for upgrade. |
 | Upgrade is not supported for this type of installation. (for Developer Edition or Docker) or The system is not ready yet for upgrade. Upgrading to newer DPOD versions with the same major version of the Store is still possible, even though the warning icon is displayed. |
Reindex Options
This section shows the configuration details that determines the reindexing process behavior.
The configuration properties can be edited by clicking on the Edit button.
The table below describes the reindexing configuration properties:
| Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| Reindex Time Window | The period of time during which reindexing is allowed to run. Use the default reindex time window to allow reindexing without any time limitation. |
Number of Concurrent Tasks | The number of index sets (1-5) that can be reindexed concurrently. Increasing the number allows for faster reindexing at the cost of server resources, and may be used to get the system ready for upgrade sooner. |
Reindex Mode | The speed of each reindex task. Setting to "Intensive" allows for faster reindexing at the cost of server resources, and may be used to get the system ready for upgrade sooner. |
