Upgrading CloudLink
Upgrading to CloudLink version 4.1.7 provides enhancements such as cross-platform delegate permission synchronization and removal of legacy dependencies.
Note:
For details on version-specific enhancements introduced in earlier versions, see the
chapter in this guide.Read the following points carefully before starting the CloudLink upgrade process. These considerations help ensure a smooth transition and prevent configuration or compatibility issues during the upgrade.
Do not upgrade directly to version 4.1.7 from versions earlier than 4.1.2. Upgrade to version 4.1.2 first, then proceed to 4.1.7 to avoid configuration issues.
Access the configuration file from the path mentioned below and create a backup before proceeding. The file location depends on your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit):
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchiveTools\CloudLink\ArchiveTools.CloudLink.Server.exe.config
:C:\Program Files\ArchiveTools\CloudLink\ArchiveTools.CloudLink.Server.exe.config
:
After the upgrade, refer to the backup to verify and restore any custom configuration settings, if required. After upgrading to the latest CloudLink version as per the provided instructions, compare the new configuration file with your backup. Reapply any custom settings from the backup to the new configuration file to maintain your previous configurations.
Do not interrupt or cancel the upgrade process. Doing so may leave the CloudLink database in an inconsistent or unusable state.
Follow the steps below to ensure a smooth upgrade process.
To perform a standard upgrade
- Ensure your system meets all prerequisites.
- Open the Windows Services MMC snap-in, and stop the ArchiveTools CloudLink Server service.
