About This Task

The following instructions provide details on upgrading or updating the APM Server and Add-ons software on a 64-bit APM Server machine.

Procedure

  1. Create a backup of the data contained in the following directories:
    • C:\Program Files\Meridium
    • C:\ProgramData\Meridium
  2. Uninstall the APM Server and Add-ons component.
  3. Ensure that WebDAV Publishing is deactivated. To verify this, in the Server Manager, in the Local Server workspace, in the Roles and Features section, ensure that WebDAV Publishing is not present in the list.
  4. Install and configure the APM Server software and Add-ons.
    • If you are upgrading from any version prior to V4.3.0.0.0, then you have successfully upgraded the APM Server and Add-Ons to V4.6.10.0.0, and you should proceed to the next step in the upgrade section of the Upgrade or Update APM to V4.6.10.0.0 topic.
    • If you are updating from version V4.3.0.0.0 through V4.4.0.0.4, then complete the following steps to update your data sources:
      Important: After updating the APM Server to V4.6.10.0.0, you must also update the data sources to which you want to connect to APM. This action can be completed via the Meridium Package Deployer window, which should have appeared automatically after completing step g. If you need to access this window manually, then navigate to the folder C:\Program Files\Meridium\Upgrade\DBUpgrade\Meridium.Package.Deployer, and then open the file Meridium.Package.Deployer.exe.
      1. In the Target Version box, select 4030007.
      2. On the Meridium Package Deployer window, in the Datasource box, select the data source that you want to update to V4.6.10.0.0.
      3. Select Validate.
      4. Select Deploy.
        Note: After you select Deploy, a message will appear, indicating that you should back up your database before proceeding. You should always back up the database before beginning any upgrade or update process. If any problems occur during the update, the database can then be restored to its original state from the backup copy.
        Note: If the data source update fails, a message will appear, indicating that you should consult a log file. If this occurs, then, to update the data source to V4.6.10.0.0, you should follow the standard procedure to initiate the database upgrade process.

      5. For each data source that you want to update to V4.6.10.0.0, repeat steps ii through iv.

        When each data source has been updated to V4.6.10.0.0, then you have successfully updated the APM Server and Add-Ons to V4.6.10.0.0, and you should proceed to the next step in the update section of the Upgrade or Update APM to V4.6.10.0.0 topic.
