Grace Period for Upgrades

Four weeks + Snaplex and Snap Pack upgrades automatically occur four weeks plus two days after a quarterly release, Snaplex and Snap Pack upgrades automatically occur. Older Snaplex nodes and Snap Packs are automatically updated and Snaplex rollbacks are not allowed. Warning messages are provided well before the grace period ends. 

If you do not select the checkbox in Manager > Settings > Auto Upgrade Snaplex, then for the said during this time period after a quarterly release, automatic updates for Snaplex nodes are suspended and the version is not changed. During this grace period, you can manually upgrade the new Snaplex War file to make sure everything is WAR (Web Application Resource) file to test your pipelines and ensure they are working as expected, . You can then try out the new Snaps and Snap Packs.

Note
  • All nodes within a Snaplex must be configured to run the same Snaplex version and Snap Pack versions.
  • Snap Catalog displays older version of Snap Packs until all JCCs in an Org upgrade to the new version. Newly published premium Snap Packs are not available in the Snap Catalog until all JCCs are upgraded. Pipeline execution do use the appropriate Snap Pack, based on whether the JCC is upgraded or not. 
  • Private Snap Packs can be used regardless of the JCC version.

To upgrade automatically to the latest available version, select the checkbox in Manager > Settings > Auto Upgrade Snaplex

In addition to the menu choices (Latest/Stable, Old/New), you can also configure individual Snap Pack "local overrides" to use when a Pipeline runs. For example, you might have a Stable set of Snap Packs configured for your Org, but you can select a later (or earlier) version for a few of the Snap Packs, depending on your needs.

  1. For the Org you want to test, log in to SnapLogic as an Org administratoradmin.
  2. For all Snaplexes, update to the latest version in Manager. Since the updates are automatic, no manual JCC node process restarts are required.
  3. Selectively execute and monitor a few Pipelines to ensure that they are working as expected.
