Hi Swati,

Once you update Blue Prism to v7.0, your database will be upgraded and once it has been upgraded, you won't be able to downgrade it. Keeping this fact in mind, I would first suggest you to create a backup of your production database as a part of a contingency plan in case you would need to downgrade in future if things do not work your way.

Also, do keep a backup release of your processes and the related artifact's as well comprising of your objects, credentials, environment variables etc.

When you will upgrade to v7.0, a new license file will be required altogether which you won't be compatible any of the version 6 releases as v.7 introduced a lot of new features such as REST services, Hub platform which can be used to connect all the new products that Blue Prism has released till date.

For more information do view the release notes: Blue Prism v.7 Release Notes

Thankyou Devneet for the reply.

I Undertsood that database will be upgraded with the Blue prism v7.0 installation. I need to know about the other components like BP Hub, APIs and Authentication server in the newer version.
Could you tell me the process of upgrade BP with all its components if you have done it recently.

Thanks

Hi Swati,

To be honest the installation procedure for all these components are not that simple and they require a lot of pre-requisites which explaining on a post would be quite difficult. But there is a very properly explained help document with videos as well to install each component related to Hub and other related products if you are interested. Please follow the given URL: Blue Prism Components Installation

Let us know if this helps!
