Alteryx Patch Upgrade - Checks to be considered

[Arjun214]

Hello All,

We are planning to patch our Alteryx server from 2023.2(Patch2 ) to Patch 7. We are looking for th checks to be considered  during the planning.

Also looking for few clarifications

1. Are DCM connections impacted post upgrade? Wil there be need for end-users to sync their connections again

2. Known issues during patch upgrades

3. Pre and post upgrade checks to be considered while planning for patch upgrade from server and application side

4. Specific test related to Workflows

5. Any other things to be considerable?

These might sound the basic ones, but i am planning the upgrade for the first time and wanted to make sure that things go well during the upgrade.

Thanks in advance,

Arjun

Hi @Arjun214 ,

Here you can find a list of things to be done before and after the patch upgrade.

I would also suggest looking at the release notes from each patch to see if something impacting your workflows is being fixed.

I don`t remember needing to sync the DCM connections and I have never had any issues with the patches.

Best,
