Preparing to Upgrade
Oracle NoSQL Database supports upgrades from releases for the current year and prior two calendar years. For example, to upgrade a store to the 23.x release, the store must be running release 21.x or later.
Before beginning the upgrade process, create a backup of the store by making a snapshot. See Taking a Snapshot.
In Oracle NoSQL Database, configuration changes and other
administrative activities involve plans
. For information about
plans, see Using Plans.
Note:
During the upgrade process, you should not create any plans until all services in the data store have been upgraded.
As soon as possible after upgrading the service components, upgrade any application programs that use the kvstore client library. Also make sure to upgrade the Oracle NoSQL Database Proxy. This is necessary to compile the applications with the new software and to relink the application using the libraries of the new release of Oracle NoSQL Database.
