  1. Check the Compatibility Guide and Upgrade Planning for details of the PhixFlow system requirements and update any dependencies.   
  2. Follow the instructions in Installing PhixFlow.

To upgrade an existing PhixFlow instance: 

  1. Check the Compatibility Guide and Upgrade Planning for changes to the system requirements or supported database versions. For example, you may need to upgrade your database or Java version.

  3. Check if your installation is using any of the discontinued features listed below. All data related to these features will be removed by the upgrade process.

  4. Follow the Upgrading PhixFlow and the Special Upgrade Instructions for all the intermediate releases between your current version and the version to which you are upgrading.

    Special Instructions

    You must create a new version of $webapp/WEB-INF/classes/phixflow-datasource.xml 

    1. Rename your existing configuration file, for example by adding a .bak suffix.
    2. Follow the Install PhixFlow Webapp instructions for creating a new phixflow-datasource.xml file from the.example file provided.
