Upgrade the Data Steward Studio App

Make sure you take regular backups of the instance before your proceed with the upgrade procedure.

To upgrade from one version to another, you must make note of the existing version and the new upgrade version. You must run the upgrade command from the new upgrade version repository folder and enter the folder details of the existing version.

Back up your existing Data Steward Studio repository dss-app.repo file in .repo format.
Download the upgrade repository tarball to the repository folder:
```
wget -nv <upgrade-repo-URL> -O /etc/yum.repos.d/dss-app.repo
```
Verify that the repository is downloaded:
```
yum search dss-app
```
You should see two dss-app repositories.
Update the repository by running the following command:
```
yum update dss-app
```
You should see two versions of the DSS app.
Navigate to the dss bin directory:
```
cd /usr/dss-app/1.6.1.0-4/apps/dss/bin/
```

Run the upgrade command as follows:

./dssdeploy.sh upgrade --from /usr/dss-app/1.3.1.0-392/apps/dss/bin/

	Note
	Indicates the older version of DSS-App and can be different too.

The following message appears:

When prompted, enter the master password for DataPlane.

```
