In this comprehensive walkthrough, we guide Windows users through upgrading their GoAnywhere MFT environment from version 7.3.1 to 7.8.4, specifically for deployments using Microsoft SQL Server or other non-Derby databases.
🔧 What You’ll Learn:
- How to verify your current version, database type, and install directory
- Pre-upgrade steps including workspace cleanup, disk space checks, and monitor validation
- How to handle SQL Server-specific configurations (JDBC encryption, integrated authentication, max connections)
- Downloading and preparing the upgrade JAR file
- Executing the upgrade via command prompt and troubleshooting validation failures
- Post-upgrade verification, monitor reactivation, and FIPS compliance steps
⚠️ This upgrade requires a maintenance window and full backups of both the VM and database. Follow along to ensure a smooth, secure upgrade process.
