Upgrade to 6.0

This section applies specifically to the Zephyr Enterprise product and provides instructions on upgrading the Zephyr Enterprise instance. The information below is generally used to ensure that system administrators can upgrade and update their Zephyr Enterprise product instance. 


The information and links below provide an in-depth knowledge and step-by-step guide to assist your system administrator with upgrading Zephyr Enterprise from an earlier version to a 6.0 instance.


Best Practice Before Upgrading

As a best practice before upgrading, we strongly recommend performing a backup of your database to ensure data integrity and to make the upgrade as seamless as possible during the transition.

  • Database backups are extremely ideal when you are upgrading your Zephyr instance to retain your data if any issues occur during the upgrade process.

For any upgrade, ensure that a database backup is performed.

Please navigate through the links below that best describe your preferred upgrade environment.

Guidelines


  1. After Upgrade is done before starting the server and all connections to database should be terminated
  2. In Cluster environment all other nodes should be down

Upgrader from command


MySQL Upgrader command for windows
