Attention
Please refer to the Release Notes v2.0.0 if you want to upgrade from ConnectionsExpert version 1.x to version 2.x!
Once a new version is available, a popup message will appear in the ConnectionsExport user interface. This notification links the release notes and download links for the new version.
Download the Upgrade Package
Two upgrade packages are available:
- the “ce-upgrade.zip” file (~ 50 MB), if the ConnectionsExpert appliance has access to docker.panagenda.com
- OR the “ce-upgrade-offline.zip" (up to 1 GB), if the ConnectionsExpert appliance does NOT have access to docker.panagenda.com
Note
The offline package also includes files that may not be required in your ConnectionsExpert installation. Significantly less data will be transferred if the appliance has access to docker.panagenda.com, since only the necessary files will be downloaded.
Install Upgrade Package
Please upload the ConnectionsExpert upgrade package (ce-upgrade.zip / ce-upgrade-offline.zip) to the appliance's /tmp/ directory (using WinSCP for example).
Use ssh or putty to connect to the appliance and execute the following commands:
cd /tmp unzip ce-upgrade.zip ./ce-upgrade.sh
Logs are available in the log directory, e.g. /opt/panagenda/logs/ce-upgrade_<year>-<month>-<day>_<timestamp>.log.
Important
To avoid visual issues, the IBM Connections widget cache has to be cleared. For more information, please refer to the following article in the IBM Knowledge Center: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYGQH_6.0.0/admin/admin/t_admin_clear_widget_cache.html
Upgrade Bridgehead
If a Bridgehead upgrade is required, you will get a corresponding popup at the first login after the appliance upgrade. Please refer to Bridgehead Upgrade for further instructions.
