Update

For updating Digital Process Factory follow the steps below:

  1. Check Preconditions and Requirements.

  2. Execute version specific steps needed to be done before the respective update as described in the sections below. If no steps are listed continue with the next step.

  3. Install the new version of Digital Process Factory, refer to Installation. If not otherwise mentioned, the Frozen Master does not need to be updated.

  4. Execute version specific steps needed to be done after the update as described in the sections below.

Hint - skipping releases

If a release has no update information, no special actions are needed for this specific release.

When skipping releases while updating, execute the update steps for the skipped releases too. For example, when updating from 5.7.0 to 6.1.0, the steps specified for 5.7.1 and 6.0.0 have to be executed as well.

Update to 4.1.0

The internal architecture of Digital Process Factory has been changed to a microservice architecture, thus making it clusterable and faster. For this, the installation of MongoDB, SEAL NATS and SEAL Logrotate are required prior to the installation of Digital Process Factory.

For DPF 4.1.0, the DPF Tracker of Frozen Master 2025-1 resp. DPF 3.3.1 is recommended. Otherwise, when sending jobs via REST interface to the DPF 4.1.0, the responsible user is not shown in DPF Tracker.
