Upgrading Session Monitor

Note:

It is not possible to upgrade from Session Monitor version 3.3 to Session Monitor version 3.4, 4.0, or 4.1 directly as versions 3.4 and 4.x are Oracle Linux - based, and version 3.3 is Debian-based. To upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 or 4.x, a re-install is required.

To upgrade Session Monitor:

  1. Upgrade from Session Monitor release 3.3 to 3.4 or release 4.0 by referring to the Migration Guide provided in the 3.4, and 4.0 product documentation page on the Oracle Help Center.

    With this migration procedure, you can perform upgrade without losing historic calls/data.

  2. After upgrading to Session Monitor release 3.4/4.0, upgrade to Session Monitor release 4.1 either by PSA or ACLI.

    • Upgrading from Release 3.4 to Release 4.1 through PSA

    • Upgrading from Release 3.4 to Release 4.1 through ACLI
