Prior to Upgrade
| • | If you have any UNIX Engines that share a common installation directory, you must migrate those installations to a local directory. A shared install point is no longer supported. |
| • | To enable programmatic version control, ensure that gridLibraryStrictVersioning is set to false. |
| • | If you have a Linux64 Engine, for upgrade from all versions earlier than 7.0.0_hotfix08, you must perform the following steps: |
| a. | Stop the server. |
| b. | As a best practice, take a backup of the existing engine.sh file. |
| c. | Replace the engine.sh file from the engineScriptUpdate folder to datasynapse/manager/webapps/livecluster/engineUpdate/linux64/ and datasynapse/manager-data/engineUpdate/linux64/ folder. |
| d. | Start the server. |
| e. | Let the Engines log in and then restart the Engine Daemon. |
| f. | Stop the server. |
| g. | Upgrade the server. |
Note: In case of Grid Architecture, perform the steps from step a to step g on the Primary Director.
| • | Check the list of changes in the release notes for any other issues that might affect you. |
