Upgrade Volt Foundry

The following procedures guide you in upgrading Volt Foundry to the latest version. As Volt Foundry supports various installation mechanisms, refer to the relevant upgrade procedure.

For using an installer

The upgrade process works by upgrading the existing database to the latest version, and installing fresh application server artifacts, such as data sources and WARs. For installation details such as hostname, database port, prefix, suffix, you must refer to the installation logs of your previous setup.

The installer doesn't support automatic backups of database and other artifacts. You must clean up the existing application server artifacts and take a backup of the custom artifacts. The installer also doesn't support rollback in case of a failure during the upgrade. To roll back, restore the database and server artifacts you backed up before upgrading.

Before you begin

  • Back up your databases and server artifacts.

  • Download the latest Volt Foundry installer based on your installation platform. The minimum supported version is v10.0.1. For more information, see Download HCL Volt MX Go installers.

  • Ensure that the Volt Foundry installer has execute permission.

  • Ensure that you have the path of your previous installation directory.
  • Ensure that you stop the application server of your existing Volt Foundry instance, which you want to upgrade.

Install Volt Foundry

  • Follow the link to the upgrade procedure based on your used installation platform.

    Important

    • Volt Foundry must be licensed with a Volt MX Go entitlement for the Volt MX Go features to work.
    • The upgrade procedure indicates installation files and installation file download locations. You must use the installer you downloaded in Before you begin.
    • Check all the details and complete all the applicable steps indicated in the upgrade procedure.

    • Make sure to point to the same database you used for your previous Volt Foundry installation to access all the projects you worked on.
