The following topic provides information about the task that you must perform after you upgrade to the April 2023 release.
Process Server restart
As part of this release, updates were made to the Process Server service on the Secure Agent. The updates do not affect the service and the agent processes will continue to work as is. As a result of the deployment of the updates, you will see that the status of the Process Server service shows up as Restart Required.
If you have configured an upgrade restart schedule for the Process Server, the restart will happen automatically as per the schedule. Otherwise, by default, the restart will happen 7 days after your Point of Deployment (POD) upgrade.
If you would like to manually restart the Process Server at your own convenience and get the latest updates, perform the following steps:
1Open the Administrator service and select Runtime Environments.
2On the Runtime Environments page, click the name of the Secure Agent.
Note: You might have to expand the Secure Agent group to see the list of Secure Agents within the group.
3Click the Details tab.
4In the Agent Service Start or Stop area, select the service as Process Server.
5Click Stop.
6Click Start to restart the Process Server service. After the service starts, the status changes to Up and Running. If the service fails to start, check the audit log to find the cause of the error.
For more information about Secure Agents, see Runtime Environments in the Administrator help system.
Upgrading the Process Server PostgreSQL database to version 14.6
You can upgrade the Process Server PostgreSQL database from version 12.4, 12.6, or 13.5 to version 14.6. Version 14.6 offers improved security, performance, and scalability.
You can use the replication technique to easily upgrade the PostgreSQL database for a Secure Agent. For more information about upgrading the PostgreSQL database using the replication technique, see Upgrading the PostgreSQL database using the replication technique.
You can also choose to upgrade at your own convenience by manually running scripts provided by Informatica. The scripts take a backup of the existing database version so that you can restore to the old database version in case of any upgrade issue.
