Upgrading a DataBlade module

To upgrade a DataBlade module, use BladeManager to register a new version of the module. When you register the new version, BladeManager will automatically unregister the old version.

Restriction: You cannot use the following procedure to upgrade or downgrade some versions of DataBlade modules. For instructions on which versions can be upgraded or downgraded, see the release notes for the DataBlade module.

To upgrade a DataBlade module:

On the Databases page, select the database in which you want to upgrade a DataBlade module (see Figure 1).
In the Available list box, select the module you want to upgrade.
Click Add.
The Registered list box shows the version of the module with the new version in parentheses to indicate that the current version will be upgraded.
Click Apply.
After a successful upgrade, the Registered list box shows only the new version, along with any other DataBlade modules registered in the database.

If the upgrade fails, BladeManager returns the database to its prior state. To see the SQL statements that failed, look at the corresponding log file (see Viewing log files) and see Troubleshooting registration problems, for possible solutions.

To downgrade a DataBlade module, use this same procedure to replace the DataBlade module with a lower version, which appears in the Available list box.
