Preparation
For any BETA version installation, we recommend to do the following preparations.
Prepare a staging environment with a setup similar to your production environment.
Beta releases are still undergoing the final stages of testing. We strongly recommend that you first run and verify a BETA version on a staging system.
Backup data for the staging environment before proceeding.
Schedule upgrades at a time when app users low to none. There may be required steps after installation that need time to process.
Enable logging before installation so that logs can be exported, in case any errors occur.
Go to Administration > System > Logging and Profiling
Under Default Loggers section, select DEBUG as Logging Level for com.easesolutions
Read all steps provided before you start. In case of questions, please communicate with our support.
