How to upgrade to version 26.1
Version 26.1 is currently only available on Stages Managed Service instances. On-premise usage will be made available later this year.
Please contact our customer care team to request an upgrade of your Stages Managed Service instance.
Note: all process release automations have to be finished before an upgrade can be performed.
Upgrade your system to at least Stages 7.12.5.0
Only Stages databases of Stages 7.12.5.0 or newer can be upgraded to Stages 26.1. Therefore upgrade to this version first if not yet done.
Ensure consistent data
To minimize the chance for issues during the upgrade it is recommended to execute ensureDatabaseIntegrity.bat|sh before upgrading to Stages 26.1.
Create Backups Before Upgrading
To be safe in case of any problems during the update, back up your database and the stages folder before the upgrade.
If the backup is running automated - please check whether the backup was created successfully.
