Upgrading the DataMiner web apps

From DataMiner 10.3.0/10.3.3 onwards, DataMiner web upgrades are available separately from the general DataMiner upgrades. These updates include only the web API and the web apps, leaving all other DataMiner processes untouched. This way you can get access to the latest features and enhancements of the web apps without having to do a full DataMiner upgrade. The web upgrades only require a brief installation and do not necessitate a DataMiner restart, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring and orchestration.

Note

• Executing a DataMiner upgrade will override any DataMiner web upgrades that have been performed in the past.
• New web functionality that depends on new features in the core processes will not be available until you have also upgraded the core software. For example, GQI is part of the core DataMiner software, so new GQI features will only become available with a full DataMiner upgrade.

Tip

You can download the latest web upgrade package on DataMiner Dojo.

Automatic backup

From DataMiner 10.3.11/10.3.0 [CU8] onwards, whenever you upgrade your DMA or install a DataMiner web upgrade, an automatic backup of all existing dashboards and low-code apps on the system is generated and stored in C:\Skyline DataMiner\System Cache\Web\Backups.

After the upgrade process, your dashboards and low-code apps may be migrated to ensure compatibility with the updated software version. If an error occurs during this migration, or if you need to perform a DataMiner downgrade, you can manually restore your dashboards and low-code apps from the backup.

Note

The Backups folder retains only the five most recent backup files.
