Upgrading from a Prior Installation

Info

This service release fixes multiple vulnerabilities reported in 3rd party components Solr, OpenJDK and Postgres. It’s recommended to upgrade to this service release, if running an earlier version.

You can upgrade to this release from a previous ViaWorks/Locator 2.x release.

You CANNOT upgrade to this release from ViaWorks 1.x or earlier.

If upgrading from a previous major version, it's recommended that you upgrade all installed connectors. If upgrading from 2.7 or below it's required that you upgrade all connectors. 

Info

Supervisor versions 2.1 and older do not support Locator 2.11 SR7. Customers should not upgrade to Locator 2.11 SR7 until they've upgraded to Supervisor 2.3. 
As Supervisor version 2.3 requires the new Authority Service, that comes with Locator 2.11 SR1 and above, users upgrading to Supervisor 2.3 should first upgrade to Locator 2.11 SR7.

Note: When you upgrade to Locator 2.11 SR7 you need to configure the Active Directory authentication system, as this is a requirement for Supervisor 2.3.
