Upgrade to 2021.11 FP3 process

1. Pre-upgrade steps
Step Description
1.1  Download the latest Apliqo UX installer file: Apliqo.2021.11.03 (FP3)
1.2  Stop the content store service(s) which are being upgraded
1.3  Stop Apliqo application server
1.4 Take a backup of the content store data directories
1.5

Take a backup of any TM1 content store db data which will be overwritten during the upgrade (e.g. }APQ UX AppSubType cube including DefaultJSON.)

NOTE: this step is relevant when custom widgets were created 

1.6

If the Apliqo server is being updated e.g. due to the Tomcat version upgrade, take a backup of the settings.json file, as it will be overwritten during the server upgrade.

File location: ..\ApliqoServer\py\settings.json

2. Online Upgrade Process

If you have Cubewise Pulse v6.0.x installed you can use the online migration package below which will automate the entire upgrade process and skip to step 2.

2021.11 FP3 Pulse Online Package

For Pulse online package migration Pulse version 6.0.x is required.

Note: that upgrades and fix pack releases of Apliqo UX ContentStore prior to July 2021 used Pulse 5.8.x migration packages. With the 2021.07 Apliqo UX release this was switched to the Pulse v6 format which is not backwards compatible with older versions of Pulse. If you are a Pulse customer still using an older version then you will need to follow the procedure for the offline package upgrade.

Note:  Upgrade your Content Store instance first. After completing the Content Store update, you can then simply use the installer and update your existing webapps to complete the upgrade process.
