    Chapter 11. Upgrade

    This chapter describes upgrade CloverDX Server.

    When upgrading to a new version, the system database may need to be updated too. Since this operation could be dangerous as there is a chance the update might fail and damage the system database, the start of the server is suspended and a confirmation dialog is displayed.

    Confirm dialog

    Figure 11.1. Confirm dialog


    You are presented with 2 options:

    1. Make a database backup and proceed with the update.

    2. Cancel the update. In this case, the database is not modified and the server fails to start. You must stop the application server the CloverDX Server is running on and deploy the previous version of CloverDX Server (clover.war).

    Cancel dialog

    Figure 11.2. Cancel dialog


    The approval can be skipped by setting the server property autoapply.sys.db.patches to the version you are upgrading to or newer.

    Example 11.1. Property autoapply.sys.db.patches

    autoapply.sys.db.patches=5.8
autoapply.sys.db.patches=99.9

    In a cluster, the confirmation is needed only on one node.
