Before You Upgrade

Note

  • You can upgrade from any version to the latest one. In any case, test the upgrade on the sandbox environment in your own infrastructure with your data before upgrading.

  • You also have to upgrade your loaders.

  • Perform the database backup.

  • Review the System Requirements.

  • Check the Connect Release Notes to find out more about new features.
