Watch the Videos: ZDU

Important!
  • Due to substantial technical changes, ZDU is not supported for upgrading from any previous version to 24.4.0. However, you can use ZDU for upgrades from version 24.4.0 to higher versions.

  • ZDU is not supported either for a first upgrade from a version lower than 24.0 to and Automic Automation version that supports Unicode / UTF-8 (24.0 and higher).

    There are significant DB schema and AE message changes that cannot be supported in compatibility or rollback mode. Furthermore, the AE database UTF-8 migration process requires a downtime so that all data is migrated correctly. This step is relevant to avoid an encoding misalignment resulting in corrupted data.

This playlist consists of two videos that explain how use zero downtime to upgrade Automic Automation without scheduling a maintenance window:
