Upgrading to Centerprise 7.6

The upgradation process mentioned in this document applies to the previous versions of Centerprise, particularly:

  • Centerprise 7.4
  • Centerprise 7.5
Note: Prior to any upgrade, we strongly recommend that you create a full backup of your repository database. Also, upgrading a lower level environment first (such as QA, UAT, etc) is recommended, prior to upgrading the production environment. This will reduce the risk of encountering errors when upgrading the production environments.
