Upgrading repository to version 25.2

info

Since Dataedo 25.2 includes major changes in multiple areas, we recommend scheduling a support session to upgrade it. Alternatively, you can follow the checklist below or contact [email protected] for assistance.

Before upgrading

Backup your repository.
Check if your repository has connection to personal profiles (they are no longer supported).
Enable additional authentication method, if your Portal only allows SAML authentication.

After upgrading

warning

Before upgrading, back up your repository, so you can restore it later if anything goes wrong.

Personal profiles are no longer supported.

To check if your repository contains connections that use them, connect to the repository using SSMS and run the following query:

SELECT d.[title] 
FROM [dbo].[databases] d 
INNER JOIN [dbo].[user_connections] uc 
ON d.database_id = uc.database_id

If any connections are returned, their details may need to be recreated after the upgrade.

If your Portal only allows SAML authentication:

Before upgrading, log in and enable another authentication method (for example, Windows or built-in login).
After upgrading, verify that SAML login works. If it fails, use the backup login method to access the Portal and reconfigure SAML.

If you enabled an additional authentication method before the upgrade, you can now safely disable it.

Starting with version 25.2, users managing Scheduler tasks must have the Connection Manager role in the Portal.

Make sure to assign this role after upgrading.
