ManageEngine Password Manager Pro: Apply Upgrade Pack

Instructions to apply the Upgrade Pack

• In Windows, right-click the PMP tray icon and then click "Exit"
• Shutdown the PasswordManager Pro Server service, if running. Check if mysql process is running. If so, terminate that process
• IMPORTANT: Take a copy of the entire Password Manager Pro installation folder before applying the upgrade pack and keep it in some other location. If something goes wrong with the PMP upgrade, you can rely on the copy. All your settings will remain intact. Additionally, if you are using MS SQL server as back-end database, take a backup of the Password Manager Pro database before applying the upgradepack.
• The upgrade Pack is to be applied through a tool named UpdateManager bundled with PasswordManager Pro. Navigate to <PMP_Installation_Folder>/bin directory and execute UpdateManager.bat (in Windows) or UpdateManager.sh (in Linux) to start the Update Manager.
• If you are applying multiple upgrade packs one-by-one, exit the Update Manager tool after applying one upgrade pack and make sure that the mysqld-nt.exe process is not running. Then proceed with running the Update Manager tool to apply the next upgrade pack and so on
• Click Browse and select .ppm file that you downloaded. Click Install to install the upgrade pack. Wait until the upgrade pack is fully installed. [Normally, it takes a few minutes for PPM installation]
• Click Close and then click Exit to exit the Update Manager tool
• After applying the upgrade pack, check if mysql process process is running. If it is running, terminate that process
• Start the PasswordManager Pro server / service
• Once you upgrade to the latest version, the High Availability set up has to be reconfigured again. The old HA set up will not work. In addition, the existing secondary server has to be uninstalled and a new secondary server has to be installed. You may download a fresh, full build and install it as SECONDARY.
