Upgrade 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 automatically unregisters 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 or downgrade a DataBlade module in the specified database, enter the following command:

register module_name database_name

In the preceding example command, module_name represents the name of the DataBlade module directory. These names typically follow the form of the DataBlade module name followed by the version number. BladeManager warns you that you are upgrading or downgrading a DataBlade module.

If BladeManager is not currently connected to the database specified in the register command, it connects to the new database, prepares all available DataBlade modules, and displays a message about the success or failure of the preparation before continuing with registration.

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