Version: 2.6.1.17813 Enterprise
OS Server: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
OS Administration Machine: Windows 11 24H2

Hello,

I would like to upgrade my Linux server distribution to version 24, but before doing so I would like to know if:

- the WAPT Enterprise solution is compatible with Ubuntu 24?
- can an in-place migration of the distribution be performed, or is it necessary to reinstall the solution on a new server?
If an in-place migration is possible, what should I be aware of?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Romuald,

you just need to change the apt sources for Ubuntu. WAPT versions are now "multi-distributor," so there's no change there. The PostgreSQL database will be updated during the upgrade, and this will create a dump/restore that can take some time (this is standard PostgreSQL behavior during major version changes).

If you haven't updated your WAPT recently, depending on how you configured your apt WAPT sources (either /wapt-2.6 (points to the latest current version) or wapt-2.6.1.17861 (exact version)), it might be updated at the same time. You can separate the two by first running an upgrade to 24.04 to update everything and WAPT simultaneously. Best

regards,

Denis

Hello Denis,

Yes, during the update, PostgreSQL version 18 was offered to me. I'm currently on version 17, so I declined it.
I've completed all the other necessary steps in the meantime, and I have a working environment running Ubuntu 24.04 and the latest version of WAPT 2.6.

Is it advisable to upgrade to version 18, or is it safer to stay on PostgreSQL version 17?

Thank you for your advice.
