Online Product Upgrades work as follows:

  1. Your PostgreSQL appliance must be registered with Micro Focus for online updates, then when a product upgrade is released, an associated update is listed with any other available product updates, and the Product Update icon displays a notification badge.

  2. Open the Product Update dialog and apply all of the available patches, etc.

  3. When the update process completes, the Product Upgrade icon displays a notification badge.

  4. When you are ready to upgrade the PostgreSQL appliance, shut down the other appliances in the correct order for your service type.

    1. Access the Port 9443 console on each service appliance and click Shutdown.

      For example, shut down all of the TeamWorks or Filr appliances.

    2. When the service appliances are all shut down, access the Port 9443 console on each search appliance and click Shutdown.

      For example, shut down all of the TeamWorks Search or Filr Search appliances.

  5. IMPORTANT:When all of the other appliances are shut down, you must reboot the PostgreSQL appliance before continuing with the upgrade.

    1. In the PostgreSQL appliance’s Port 9443 console, click Reboot.

    2. Wait for the appliance to shut down and restart.

  6. When the PostgreSQL appliance has restarted, access the Port 9443 console and open the Upgrade dialog by clicking the Product Upgrade icon.
