2.90:Upgrading Grooper to a New Version

So you're ready to upgrade?

About

The basics of upgrading Grooper can be broken down into three steps.

1. Uninstall the old version of Grooper.
2. Install the new version of Grooper.
3. Upgrade your existing Grooper repositories in Grooper Config.

Depending on your Grooper install, your upgrade process may be slightly more involved (For example, if you are running scripts in your environment to customize Grooper's functionality, you may need to update the associated Object Libraries). However, these three basic steps will apply to all upgrades.

Perform a Simple Upgrade

Starting Point - Version 2.80

Starting Point - Version 2.80

In this tutorial, we will upgrade a version 2.80 Grooper install to version 2.90. In Grooper, config you will see we have two repository connections: one named "Grooper290" and the other "Grooper280". Currently, Grooper version 2.80 is installed on this machine. Note the "Grooper280" repository is listed as "Ok" in the Status column. The "Grooper290" repository is listed as "Newer Version". This is because this environment was actually downgraded from 2.90 to 2.80 for the purpose of this tutorial. By the end of this tutorial, the Grooper install will be upgraded to version 2.90, and both repositories will be listed as "Ok", indicating they have both been upgraded to version 2.90.

FYI	If you are upgrading from version 2.70 to 2.90, you may upgrade directly to version 2.90. However, if you are upgrading from version 2.60 to 2.90, you must first upgrade to version 2.70, and then upgrade to version 2.90.
