Upgrade an organization to the latest version
You can upgrade your organization to the latest version of Metadata Command Center, Data Governance and Catalog, and Data Marketplace after Informatica makes the version available on the Point of Deployment (POD) that you connect to.
To upgrade, you can either run the upgrade immediately or schedule it to run at a convenient date and time.
Note: To upgrade, you must be the organization administrator or have the Manage Upgrade privilege for your user role.
If you don't initiate or schedule the upgrade, Informatica upgrades your organization six weeks after the version is made available on the POD. For more information about the upgrade window, see Intelligent Data Management Cloud Release Readiness in the Administration help.
When an upgrade is available, a notification banner appears in Metadata Command Center. Click the banner to open a confirmation dialog box. You can click the links on the confirmation dialog box to view information on the new features and enhancements that the latest version contains. Click Manage Upgrade to upgrade.
You can choose to upgrade immediately or schedule it for a date earlier than the default scheduled date.
If you choose to upgrade immediately, the upgrade starts right away and might take up to two hours for a major release and up to five minutes for a standard release. Ensure that all jobs are complete before you upgrade. Pending jobs prevent the upgrade from starting. During the upgrade, you can’t create, update, or delete assets. Save your work to prevent data loss.
If you choose to schedule the upgrade, specify the date and time at which you want to run the upgrade. For example, you can choose a date and time when the upgrade time causes minimal impact.
