Upgrade
| Note:
For upgrading any production or evaluation deployment, contact AmZetta Team for assistance and feasibility to upgrade. |
The Upgrade installation flow will only be enabled when admin has installed an older version of AmZetta zPortal Controller and then runs a newer installer on the same system. The installer will detect the existing installation and will run in maintenance mode with the Upgrade, Add New Components and Uninstall operations enabled and Repair operation disabled.
Add New Components option can be used to install zPortal Session Host Server role on the existing installation of zPortal. Please refer section Add New Components for detailed steps.
