While working with the platform you can see a notification about the availability of a new platform version on your Home:Dashboard page (see image 1 below):
*Image 1 - notification about availability of new platform version*
This means that a new version of the platform has been released and if you want work with latest version of the software, you will need to it.
Upgrading to the latest version of the Platform
To upgrade to the latest version, you need to do the following:
- You need connect using ssh to the virtual machine where the platform is installed. We recommended using "Putty" or some similar applications.
- Then you must execute the following command: sudo aqtra-platform update Х.Х.XX. This command will download and install the update for the platform. Instead of the X.X.XX, please use the version number listed in the update notification screen above.
It is highly recommended to check the proper working of the platform after you’ve installed the update.
Rolling back the upgrade
If you have found errors during or after updating the platform, you can return to the previous version of platform. But before that, please collect the data and logs for a bug/error report.
To do this:
- You need to connect using ssh to a virtual machine, where the platform is installed.
- If errors appeared during or after platform update, please do the following!!! You need to run the following terminal command: sudo aqtra-platform metrics. As result of this command, there will be files with metrics created, located at /opt/aqtra-/platform/metrics/. Please collect these metrics for your report about platform errors.
- To return to a previous version of the platform, please execute the following command in the console: sudo scalaxi-platform rollback. This will rollback the platform to the previous version.
It is highly recommended to check the proper working of the platform after you’ve rolled back the update to the previous version.
