Update of PLANTA project

General Information

Information

• This topic is a parent center for all further descriptions concerning the installation of PLANTA project. Links to the respective topics can be found in the "Overview of topics relevant for update" section.
• Since from version 39.5.0, individual PLANTA software components (client, server, and database (customizing)) can be updated independent of one another, there is an individual description for the update of each component. There may be dependencies between individual versions of different components. In such a case, all components concerned must be updated.
• For database update, PLANTA generally recommends to update the server as well since there are more dependencies between server and database than between, e.g., between database and client. Since it is also relevant from which version you want to update, there are several update combinations which are handled differently or which come with respective peculiarities. For a list of such combinations with links to the topics to be taken into account for the respective combinations, please refer to the "Overview Update Variants" section. The table only lists updates for server or server + database combinations. The client can always be updated independent of server and database. For more information, please refer to the Client Update topic.
• All files required for the software update are available for download on the PLANTA Transfer Server.

Attention

• PLANTA expressly recommends that software updates be carried out by experienced administrators. Please read the system requirements before you begin to update PLANTA project.
• In the case of a database update, PLANTA recommends that you do this in a test system first, before updating the productive system.
• If you have any questions regarding the basic conditions of the update procedure, please contact your PLANTA consultant.

Overview of Topics Relevant for Update

Note

• The description in this topic (as well as those of all linked topics) refers to updates in which customer systems are updated with the new/elaborated PLANTA Standard. If the customer uses multiple PLANTA systems, e.g. a test system, a development system, etc., in which the customizing status of one system is to be transmitted to the other one, we speak of a customer customizing deployment.
