How to Upgrade Standalone OpenBIS 20.10.7.2 to 20.10.12 plus

Hello everyone,

We are currently running openBIS version 20.10.7.2 in a production environment and are planning to upgrade to 20.10.12+.

As our installation contains a significant amount of data and is actively used by multiple users, we would like to ensure a smooth and safe upgrade process.

Could anyone please guide us on the recommended upgrade procedure or point us to the appropriate documentation for migrating from 20.10.7.2 to 20.10.12+? We are particularly interested in:

  • Recommended upgrade steps for a standalone installation.
  • Any database or datastore migration considerations.
  • Required backups and rollback procedures.
  • Potential compatibility issues or breaking changes between these versions.
  • Whether an intermediate upgrade path is recommended or if a direct upgrade is supported.

Any advice, best practices, or experiences from similar upgrades would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Shiva Kumar Biru
