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!
