Upgrading from Nov 2020 to Aug 2022 does not include upgrading database from 9.6 and higher.

[mstoler]

Hello,

I will be upgrading from Nov 2020 to Aug 2022 single node. 

I noticed that Postgresql is now using version 12.5.

1. I assume the upgrade will not upgrade Postgresql?

2. Should I upgrade Postgresql after moving to Aug 2022.  I noticed that Aug 2022 is not compatible with version 9.6 or should I first upgrade to Postgresql 12.5 and then upgrade Qlik to Aug 2022.

Thank You,

Michael

Hi @mstoler,

As your question is about Qlik Sense I’ll move this thread from the QlikView > Administration forum to the Qlik Sense > Deployment & Management forum so that it reaches its intended audience.

Does your Qlik Sense environment employ a bundled Postgres database, installed on same server running the Qlik Repository Service, or does the environment employ a stand alone Postgres database?

The following Qlik Support articles should point you in the correct direction:

Hi Chip - Thanks for the links. Can you please help me understand.

I have an standalone postgres server on Linux running 9.6.

Should I upgrade Postgres on the server to 12.5 first before I upgrade qliksense on central Rim nodes from Nov 2021 to Aug 2022?

Can you please confirm?

Thanks
