RIM Node Upgrade in Qlik Sense

[balajibc64]

Hi, Currently i'm using Qlik Sense 2023 version. Now I'm planning to upgrade latest version Qlik Sense May 2024 version. 

I have 2 servers. one is central node. another one is rim node. I upgraded the central node with latest version and successfully done. 

Question: When I upgrade the RIM node to latest version. Shall I want to stop services in the Central Node? or whether all the qlik service should run? 

Please suggest.

Hi,

I prefer to stop all services on all nodes during an upgrade, except the Repo DB, since it's contains all informations needed to the upgrade. 

Kind regards

@mpc Noted. Thanks.

@mpc Question. While doing in the Production environment. 

For upgrading the Qlik sense in central node took around 1 Hr. So after that I stopped all the service from central node except Qlik Repository Database service alone. 

Then I need to upgrade the software in the rim node server. So overall it will take around approx 2hrs. 

also is it possible to upgrade at a time in the central node and rim node ? 

Please suggest.

Unfortunatly, you cannot upgrade at same time Central and Rim node, because the Centrall node need to be in the lastest version in order to upgrade the RIM ones, but you can upgrade all RIM nodes at same time.

@mpc Thanks. And more thing. 

In central node having Qlik Sense MAY 2024 version. In RIM installed the Qlik Sense 2023 version. Will it work ? 

[mpc]

Unfortunatly no, all nodes need to be in the same version.

@mpc Ok thanks. Let me check.

@mpc While upgrading the central node, shall I want to stop all the service in the RIM node ?

Do the steps in series not parallel.

1. Stop all Qlik services on RIM node first.

2. Stop all Qlik services on Central node.

3. Upgrade Central node and start services.

4. Upgrade Rim node and start services.
