Precautions to take before upgrading to Data360 Analyze 3.6.0 Server

In the 3.6.0 Server Installer, by default the installer makes a backup of the /site and /data folders so that if something goes wrong the customer can recover. However, with larger installations, the /data/executions folder can be many GBs, and this therefore causes the upgrade to spend a long time copying files, and poses the threat of failing due to lack of disk space.

As a workaround, we recommend that upgrading customers take the following precautions:

IMPORTANT NOTE: please ensure to shut down Analyze fully before following these instructions. Steps on how to do so can be found here

> Move the /data/executions folder out of the /data folder but keep them within the same drive
> Run the upgrade - this will prevent all the temp data being copied into a backup
> Post install, move it back - this will give you access to your temp data post install
