Hi @MattD 

 

We have our Alteryx server running on Azure and In the process of upgrading the server from 11.8 to 2018.2, I have received an error ("MongoError1") about the Mongodb migration. I hit continue and it stayed for a while on the migration window ("MongoError2") and cancelled it eventually.

Restarted the service, tested and everything seems to be normal. Could you please let me know if there are any specific things I need to check in this case to be confident that the upgrade is successful, any advice is appreciated.
 

Thank you!

Hey Matt,

 

Is there an updated install package document like this for Alteryx Server 2018.2? Cannot find on community anywhere.

 

Thanks!

Similar to the above, do you have anything like this for 2019.1.

 

This is very good!  Thank you!

 

We are planning on upgrading to 2019.1 in June 2019.  Initially, we will complete this in the DEV environment.

 

Would be great if I have the latest...

 

Thanks again,

John
