NOTE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Since this update introduces some breaking changes, please read the full upgrade instruction carefully and make sure to follow all the steps to get your application working properly.

Changes in the app | 2022.12 release

2022.12 version introduces changes in the way the cube settings are configured.

After the installation of 2022.12 version, reverting to the previous version may cause errors in the configuration of existing views. It is recommended to create a backup version of the existing contentstore.

NOTE: APACHE TOMCAT UPDATE

To get the latest version of Tomcat, when installing/upgrading Apliqo UX, make sure that you also select the option to install the Apliqo Server.

During Apliqo Server installation the settings.json file from ApliqoServer\py folder will be overwritten. Please make a backup in advance.

IMPORTANT: Versions older than UX 2021.11 FP3 will stop working on that server. It's not mandatory to upgrade Apliqo Server for the 2022.12 version.

Step	Description
1.1	Download the latest Apliqo UX installer file: Apliqo.2022.12
1.2	Stop the content store service(s) which are being upgraded
1.3	Stop Apliqo application server
1.4	Take a backup of the content store data directories
1.5	Take a backup of any TM1 content store db data which will be overwritten during the upgrade (e.g. }APQ UX AppSubType cube including DefaultJSON.) NOTE: this step is only relevant if custom widgets were created
1.6	If the Apliqo server is being updated e.g. due to the Tomcat version upgrade, take a backup of the settings.json file, as it will be overwritten during the server upgrade. File location: ..\ApliqoServer\py\settings.json

For Pulse online package migration Pulse version 6.x.x is required.

Note: that upgrades and fix pack releases of Apliqo UX ContentStore prior to July 2021 used Pulse 5.8.x migration packages. With the 2021.07 Apliqo UX release this was switched to the Pulse v6 format which is not backwards compatible with older versions of Pulse. If you are a Pulse customer still using an older version then you will need to follow the procedure for the offline package upgrade
