Note:
- We strongly recommend performing a backup of your databases before upgrading.
- We also recommend that you first upgrade to the latest maintenance release of the major version of MarkLogic Server that you are running before upgrading.
To upgrade from release 9.0-1 or later, follow these steps:
-
Uninstall the old MarkLogic Server release--including removing MarkLogic Converters if installed.
-
Install the new MarkLogic Server release--including MarkLogic Converters if desired.
-
Open the Admin Interface in a browser:
http://localhost:8001 -
When the Admin Interface prompts you to upgrade the databases and the configuration files, click the button to confirm the upgrade.
If you are upgrading a cluster to a new release, then see Upgrading a Cluster to a New Maintenance Release of MarkLogic Server in Scalability, Availability, and Failover. The Security database and the Schemas database must be on the same host, and that host must be the first host that you upgrade when upgrading a cluster.
If you are upgrading two clusters that use database replication to replicate the Security database on the master cluster, then you must enter this command to manually upgrade the Security database configuration files on the machine that hosts the replica Security database:
curl "http://*replica-host*:8001/security-upgrade-go.xqy?force=true"
Note:
There is no direct upgrade path from Early Access releases to this release. If you need to move any data from an Early Access release to this release, then you must re-create the data in the current release.
