To upgrade an existing PhixFlow instance:
- Check System Requirements and Compatibility for changes to the system requirements or supported database versions. For example, you may need to upgrade your database or Java version.
- Ensure you have a backup of the database before upgrading PhixFlow.
Follow the Upgrading PhixFlow steps. It is important to complete Step 8, in which you apply any Special Upgrade Instructions for all the intermediate releases between your current version and the version to which you are upgrading. We also recommend that you republish the PhixFlow data as described in Step 10 of Upgrading PhixFlowSee below for the special instructions for this version.
Recommendation
We recommend that you tick the System Configuration option Log Statistics. This option generates data that is very useful:
- when troubleshooting problems
- when tuning applications or the PhixFlow system to improve performance.
Improvements
DEV-8256 The following modelling objects no longer include passwords when exported.
- file collectors
- file exporters
- FTP sites.
This means passwords are not transfered to another instance. When importing to:
- a new instance, you must update the modelling object to set the password.
- an existing instance where the modelling object already exists, PhixFlow preserves the existing password field.
Bug Fixes
DEV-8229 Setting a number format in PhixFlow no longer affects how a value is saved to the database.
DEV-8235 You can now type only 15 digits into a floating point field, as this is the maximum number of significant digits allowed.
DEV-8283 When running the upgrader, a database connection leak could occur. This has been resolved. The leak could cause errors such as "too many files".
