Follow these instructions to upgrade MOVEit Automation on the same server.

Prerequisites

Before you upgrade MOVEit Automation :
  • Carefully review the Release Notes for your current and target versions. Release Notes for all supported versions are available here: MOVEit Automation.
  • Review the Plan your upgrade topic.
  • Download the MOVEit Automation installer package and activation code. For information about how to locate and download the license file, see Download license file.
  • You should be confident in your backup strategy, and that you can restore your current environment with a recent set of data in a timely fashion.
  • You will experience downtime during the upgrade process. Consider the impact of the outage and your operational schedule.

To upgrade a single MOVEit Automation node in-place

  1. Stop the scheduler using the Web Admin COMMANDS > Stop task scheduler.
  2. To avoid tasks running before the upgrade is complete, select the Start with scheduler disabled check box on the MOVEit Automation Config Utility General tab. This allows you to test your server in a controlled environment. After testing is complete, re-enable the scheduler.
  3. Copy the MOVEit Automation installer package to the MOVEit Automation server.
  4. To run the installer from the local server, right-click and select Run as administrator.
  5. Enter the appropriate licensing information.

    To use an activation code to activate the product, enter the 23-character activation code when prompted.

    If you downloaded the installer from the Progress Customer Portal, that code is embedded in the file name and is automatically entered.

    To use a license file to activate the product, select Activate using a MOVEit License file and follow the prompts to load the license file you downloaded from the Progress Customer Portal.

  6. If prompted for a service account, enter your MOVEit service account password.
  7. To complete the upgrade, select Upgrade.

Post upgrade

After the upgrade procedure is complete, post-upgrade/migrate activities should be performed to verify that all data was imported and to test the system to ensure that all functionality is working as expected.

What to do if something goes wrong

When an issue arises in a migration, upgrade, or other install processes, consulting the install logs is a good way to begin the troubleshooting process. You may find enough information in the logs to resolve your issue. If you need assistance from our technical support team, they will ask for your install logs.
