Thickness Monitoring Upgrade
Upgrade or Update Thickness Monitoring to V5.0.0.0.0
Upgrading or updating to the V5.0.0.0.0 is a two-step process. You need to first upgrade to GE Digital APM V4.6.2.0.0 or later and then follow the steps to upgrade or update to V5.0.0.0.0.
The following table provides you the reference to procedures to upgrade from an earlier GE Digital APM version to the latest version.
Upgrade from | Upgrade to | Procedure |
---|---|---|
V4.6.0.0.0 through V4.6.3.0.0 | V5.0.0.0.0 | Upgrade from any version V4.6.0.0.0 through V4.6.3.0.0 |
Upgrade from any version V4.6.0.0.0 through V4.6.3.0.0
The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to V5.0.0.0.0. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic GE Digital APM system architecture.
These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.
