Overview

To help you manage the impact on your users caused by scheduled maintenance periods, a pre-upgrade data check process is provided to

  • validate that the upgrade can be undertaken

  • provide an indication of the time required for the upgrade

  • identify any upgrade errors for specific pages in each space

If there is an error when running the pre-upgrade check for a space a downloadable support package is created to allow the review of the validation checks.

To ensure that the document activity data upgrade is complete and accurate, you will need to enable Read Only Mode. As this capability is only available in Confluence Data Center - Comala Document Management 7 is data center only.

The Document Activity Upgrade Console is available prior to the upgrade of your data to run pre-upgrade checks. Pre-upgrade checks and upgrade can be run in a single operation.

Pre-upgrade checks do not require you to enable Read Only Mode. You only need to enable Read Only Mode when you are upgrading.

You need to enable Read Only Mode in your data center instance when you are upgrading the document activity data.

Pre-upgrade data check validation errors are recorded in a downloadable Support Package that you can attach to a support request.

This support package is added to the space listed with an error(s) in the Document Activity Upgrade Console.
