Upgrading version artifacts to the cached storage system format

IBM® UrbanCode Deploy version 6.1 provides a new storage system for artifacts (files in versions). When you upgrade to version 6.1 and start the deploy server, the upgrade process starts automatically and runs in the background. The upgrade proceeds sequentially through all versions. Versions are upgraded one at a time, not all at once so that the process does not cause excessive IO and performance issues. There is no server downtime during the upgrade process.

About this task

While the upgrade process is in progress, you can continue working in the deployment tool. You can request deployments of specific artifact versions any time, even before the version has been upgraded. When you issue a deployment request for a specific version, the server checks whether the version is upgraded. If version has not been upgraded, the upgrade process starts immediately.

For example, if you request a deployment with version 1, and that version has not yet been upgraded, the server upgrades the version, and then the server continues with the deployment.

The upgrade process reports upgrade progress. Click Settings > Artifact Repository, and view the progress bar and percentage. When the upgrade process finishes, the progress bar closes.
