Upgrading

Updates and releases are cumulative for the ITP/MDK Repository unless clearly stated otherwise. Every upgrade or release contains all new features and bug fixes of all previous upgrades and releases. Once you have installed a version of the ITP/MDK Repository you can always install a later upgrade or release 'over' it and it also means that you can skip an upgrade or release without consequences.

Note

This version of the ITP/MDK Repository can upgrade all earlier versions starting with 2.2.0 To upgrade from even older versions, you first need to install 2.2.0 as an intermediary version.

In version 3.2.5 of the ITP/MDK Repository new installers, based on new installer software, were introduced. It is therefore important to distinguish between two types of upgrades; one from an older version (before 3.2.5) and one from a new version (3.2.5 or up). An upgrade from an older version is actually a new installation, based on settings of an older installation. The installer refers to this as an "Incompatible upgrade". It will ask the following:

• A name for the ITP/MDK Repository Server installation. This is necessary to make it possible to install multiple servers on the same computer. Select the name of the previous (older version) installation here.
• Whether you are sure that you would like to create a new installation, based on an older one.
• A new installation name for the new installation, which will be based on the older installation.
• To enter the license details for the ITP/MDK Repository. This question will be asked if your version of the ITP/MDK Repository is lower than version 3.2.0 and you choose to upgrade your version. In this case your license has to be upgraded to a new license.

An upgrade from a new version will ask the following:

• A name for the ITP/MDK Repository Server installation. This is necessary to make it possible to install multiple servers on the same computer. Select the name of the previous (new version) installation here.
• Before upgrading, make sure that the database still has room to grow.
