Orchestrator Upgrade Need step by step Procedure

Help Orchestrator
1

Hi Team,

I have an enterprise license and want to upgrade the Orchestrator from 2023.10.X to 2024.10.X. Since there are many jobs running in the production environment, I need to know the prerequisites and how to avoid any data loss before performing the upgrade. Could someone help me with the step-by-step procedure? I have followed a few links but am not getting clear, sequential steps.

Thankyou

Hello @Snehamayi_Senapati

You can find the prerequisites along with the upgrade steps from the documentation below.
There is a direct path from 2023.10.X to 2024.10.X in the upgrade matrix, so it should run fairly trouble-free.

Welcome to the community

here is a guide for standalone

if youa re using msi the backup is also created

few thigns to bear in mind

  1. Take a backup of all the database and resource(orchestrator Manager can help here)
  2. 23 to 24 does not have much changes but in the versions of .net etc are little different..which are clearly called out in above link
  3. using MSI and go with a UI based upgrade is easier rather than scripts unless you are familiar with them

cheers

Hi Anil..

Yes, I am not familiar with any scripts as you described in point 3, as this will be my first time performing the Orchestrator upgrade. We need to be very focused and avoid any mistakes. Could you provide any information on how to proceed with the MSI-based upgrade as well as the UI-based upgrade?

Hi Soren ,

Can you also give some addons . On-Premise (MSI)

Thankyou

Hello @Snehamayi_Senapati

I would say that you should read, understand and follow the document referenced previously.
It directly tells you what to prepare and how the upgrade process is executed.

Using the Windows Installer
UiPathOrchestrator.msi performs an in-place update that copies all your settings and creates a backup folder for the old version. It is suitable for both one node and multi-node architecture. Some web.config settings are not copied if the version you are upgrading from was installed using the deprecated scripts. The repair functionality of the Windows Installer is not supported.

If you have the option to start out on a staging/development environment you could do that first.
But the upgrade process in it self should run fairly simple by running the .msi-installer.
Especially seeing that the “step” you take is a single version - from 2023.10.X to 2024.10.X.

Soren

If you open the MSI basically it would give you all options to upgrades..its more straight forward from there..like studio/robot installation

just get the same DB name and the db details are case sensitive so make sure you give exact name with same casing else a new DB will be created

As of now, I am only upgrading the Orchestrator, so where will the database name come from? I need to use the same name. Also, where can I find the database?

Thanks,

@Snehamayi_Senapati

Dont you know what DB is used in previous orchestrator?

cheers

13

SQL DB is used ,So i need to take the backup but the proper name from where i can get.

@Snehamayi_Senapati

In SQL DB check the name of the DB and give the same name…generally if nnot changed it would be the default name

cheers
