To upgrade an existing PhixFlow instance: 
  1. 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.
  2. Ensure you have a backup of the database before upgrading PhixFlow.
  3. 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.

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.

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".
