General upgrade information for Pure
General upgrade information for Pure
Please follow the general Upgrading Pure documentation as well as the instructions below.
In order to keep your Pure installation secure and stable, make sure to keep the components involved in serving requests to Pure up-to-date.
Refer to the Supported platforms page for details on supported and recommended versions.
See the End of Support Announcements for Pure page for all end of support announcements.
We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to skip any more than three major releases when upgrading as to do so increases the risk of migration errors.
Content validation
You are generally encouraged to check all content in the re-validation workflow step prior to upgrade, as changes to the underlying data model may not be reflected in the re-validation overview screen.
You are also encouraged to check if all content can validate prior to an upgrade of Pure. This check is done by running the Check content and files job and resolving any data validation issues that are flagged by the job.
PARTICULAR ITEMS TO NOTE WITH THIS RELEASE
Upgrade to Java 17
The 5.26.0 release will require Java 17 to work correctly, please make sure to schedule time for this upgrade along the normal Pure upgrade process.
Postgres 10 End-of-Life
Please note that Postgres 10 is no longer supported, we recommend that all customers on this version upgrade to Postgres 14.
Requirement for default charset encoding
Please be aware that from 5.26.0 Pure requires UTF-8 as the default charset encoding. The preferred way to change the default encoding used by the VM and the runtime
system is to change the locale of the underlying platform before starting Pure. For Windows the file.encoding argument still works and is needed to get Pure to boot. See more in Tomcat command-line parameters
Pure Portals
Backwards compatibility for Pure Portals
As previously communicated, we provide support for only the three most recent major releases of the Pure Portal. This means that as of the launch of Pure 5.25.0, versions 5.21 and earlier will not be officially supported by the Pure team.
If you continue to run an earlier version, new features and bug-fixes will not be available. We are also unable to make any commitment as to the performance and stability of your Portal. We therefore strongly recommend you regularly upgrade Pure to ensure Pure Portal compatibility.
NOTE: This issue is only relevant for customers who have the Pure Portal AND are responsible for managing their own upgrades.
