Perform an in-place upgrade of Jama Connect
Upgrading Jama Connect to 9.17.x from 9.0.1–9.0.3 or 8.79.1–8.79.6 requires that you first update the Jama Connect KOTS platform. The updated KOTS platform optimizes how data is stored in Jama Connect and how KOTS resources communicate with one another.
Important
Upgrading your current environment involves significant maintenance downtime and requires that you have a recovery plan in case you need to revert to the original environment. Instead, we recommend that you install a new Jama Connect environment (referred to as a clean installation), then copy elements of your current environment to the new environment. See Perform a clean installation.
