There are two distinct procedures for updating your Unanet system. Which one you will use depends on the version of Unanet you are moving from and the version of Unanet you are moving to.
The Unanet version consists of three numbers separated by decimal points. For example:
Version 22.4.5
The first number indicates the major release - in this case, 22.x.
The second number indicates the minor release - in this case, 22.4.
The last number is always the point release (or build number).
In general, the major release number changes when there has been a significant database schema change and/or a large addition to functionality. The minor release number is used to deliver focused functionality enhancements with optional minor database schema changes and may contain defect fixes. The point release changes usually contain critical defect fixes.
Follow the Upgrading topic if you are upgrading to a new point release within the same major release (e.g. 22.4.4 to 22.4.5) - note that you will only need to download the 'war' file from the support site (do not download the full installation package).
Follow the Migrating topic if you are migrating from
a major release prior to 22.4 (e.g., 22.3.x to 22.4.x) OR
a minor release prior to 22.5 (e.g., 22.4 to 22.5)
note that you will need to download the full installation package from the support site.
IMPORTANT!
Please review the Important Impacts to existing Customers information before proceeding with a version migration.
Please backup your database prior to running any migration scripts!
Unanet Customer Service is always interested in keeping up with which versions of software are in use at customer sites. Please take a quick minute to send an email to support@unanet.com indicating your success (along with the version you are running). If you have the time, you could also click on the Send to Unanet button on the About page (which will forward your platform details to customer service).
Thanks!
