Process to upgrade Qpid Broker-J 7.0.2 to 7.1.6

[Bryan Dixon <br...@bldixon.net>]

I'm wanting to upgrade/migrate our current Qpid Broker-J 7.0.2 environments
to  7.1.6 (or 7.1.7 when it is released). 

Our current 7.0.2 environment is  BDB HA (3 nodes) running on Windows Server
2012 R2 with Oracle JDK 1.8.   As part of the move to Broker-J 7.1.6 I want
to move to Adopt OpenJDK 11.

To perform the upgrade, do I just do the following:
1. stop all nodes of the 7.0.2 environment
2. start the 7.1.6 environment (one node at a time) pointing to the existing
qpid work environment that we were using with 7.0.2.

Also, if I wanted to do a backup of the qpid work environment that I can use
for a restore in case we have some type of unexpected issue after the
upgrade, can I simply copy the qpid work directory on each node while all
nodes are down and then restore that directory on each node and use with
7.0.2 in case there are upgrade issues?

Thanks
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
You are right, the upgrade procedure only requires stopping all nodes,
replacing the Qpid broker binaries and starting the nodes again. On first
start-up, the required upgrade changes should be applied automatically.
It is a good practice to do the backups of node working directories before
the upgrade. In case of any unexpected issues, you can restore the data
from backups and revert to 7.0.2 version.

Kind Regards,
Alex
