Upgrading major versions

Once you have performed the steps mentioned above, there are a few extra details whenever the release is more than a bug-fix upgrade (e.g. a bug-fix release would be going from version 1.0 to 1.0.1).

First, make sure all client users are aware that they must upgrade their Workbench and server connection plugin.

Second, check that all plugins installed on the CLC Science Server are up to date (see Server plugins). You can download updated versions of plugins from http://www.clcbio.com/clc-plugin/.

Third, if you are using the CLC Server Command Line Tools, it might have to be updated as well. This is noted in the latest improvements page of the server: http://www.clcbio.com/improvements_genomics_server.

Finally, if you are using job nodes, be aware that any new tools included in the server upgrade are automatically disabled on all job nodes. This is done in order to avoid interfering with a job node set-up, where certain job nodes are dedicated to specific types of jobs. Read more about enabling the jobs in Configuring your setup.

For major versions (e.g. going from 1.X to 2.0) a new license needs to be downloaded, and the server restarted.
