Upgrading Qlik Sense Repository Database from PostgreSQL 9.6 to 12.5 not working

[Srikanth_Shankupuram]

Hi,

I am following one of the post for upgrading Postgres 9.6 to 12.5 for scheduler server as given below.
Upgrading Qlik Sense Repository Database from Post... - Qlik Community - 1934238

I installed the QPI setup and ran it according to the steps provided in the community post above on the test scheduler server and the setup showed "Not Applicable".

Server details:

QlikSense May 2021 Patch 16

qliksenseserver: 14.20.25

Please help in providing QPI tool or guidance in order to upgrade Postgres 9.6 to 12.5

Hi Benoit,

Will reinstallation as per the link, retain all the settings belong to the central and rim nodes?

Hello @Srikanth_Shankupuram,

Yes it should keep all your setting from your DB backup.

But as stated in the article:

This process requires a full reinstallation of the product. Despite the fact that a backup is being taken as part of the process, it is highly recommended to have a second backup plan in place such as a Virtual Machine snapshot and/or a Server Backup. 
It is highly recommended to test this process in a test environment to get familiar with it. 

Regards,

Benoit
