RPA Server upgrade

Upgrade under Windows

1. Back up the current installation. Copy RPA folder (C:\RPA) to C:\RPA_old.

2. Uninstall RPA using the respective item from Programs and Features in Control Panel.

3. Install RPA as described in RPA Windows Server Installation.

4. If hub.json and nodeX.json in C:\RPA\rpa-grid\ have been modified in the previous installation for any particular purposes, merge the changes manually.

   Do not replace new files while upgrading to version 8.5 from previous versions, as the files are incompatible. In this case, it is recommended to set the custom capabilities in the new files.

Manual upgrade under Linux

All services on Linux servers are updated during the install command execution.

1. Log in to APP server over SSH and switch to <WF_USER>.

2. Stop RPA Manager:

   wfmanager stop rpa-manager
   

3. Replace the RPA Manager file (rpa-manager-server-$version.war) in the RPA Manager folder (<INSTALL_DIR>/rpa-manager) with a new one.

4. Start RPA Manager:

   wfmanager start rpa-manager
