Payara Server Upgrade Tool
| Can be installed manually to Payara Platform 5.20.0 and newer. |
This tool can be used to upgrade a Payara Server installation to a newer version. The Upgrade Tool is bundled in Payara Server versions from version 5.24.0. It can also be obtained from Payara Nexus as the payara-upgrade-tool artifact (groupId: fish.payara.extras, artifactId: payara-upgrade-tool). If obtained from the Payara Nexus, drop the JAR artifact into your Payara Server installation under payara5/glassfish/lib/asadmin. The version 1.0 of the standalone upgrade tool can be installed into Payara Server Enterprise 5.20.0 or newer and supports upgrading to any newer Payara Server Enterprise version.
| This feature is currently released as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and will be gradually getting additional enhancements in future Payara Enterprise releases. |
| The update tool is not currently supported on Windows yet. |
