Handling ineligible upgrades for Cloudera Data Engineering
In certain scenarios, your Cloudera Data Engineering service is not eligible for an in-place upgrade to the latest Cloudera Data Engineering version. In such a scenario, follow a manual upgrade process where administrators create a new service and import all jobs and resources. Learn how to conduct a workaround for each scenario.
Older Cloudera Data Engineering versions
In-place upgrade is supported only from Cloudera Data Services on premises 1.5.5 SP3, including the 1.5.5 SP3 cumulative hotfixes such as 1.5.5 SP3 CHF3, to 1.5.5 SP4. If your Cloudera Data Engineering service is on an earlier release, it is not eligible for an in-place upgrade, and you cannot use the process listed in Handling upgrade failures for Cloudera Data Engineering. For the supported upgrade paths, see the Cloudera Data Services on premises upgrade documentation.
Cloudera Data Engineering provides the in-place upgrade option from the eligible
versions to the latest version. If you are on a release that is ineligible for the in-place
upgrade, the in-place upgrade option is disabled and you must use the side-by-side upgrade
with the dex-upgrade-utils Docker image. For more information, see Cloudera Data Engineering upgrade version
compatibility.
Solution: Use the side-by-side upgrade with the dex-upgrade-utils Docker image. You create a new Cloudera Data Engineering service on the upgraded platform and migrate your jobs, resources, and job run history to it. For more information, see Migrating the Cloudera Data Engineering endpoint and Post-upgrade tasks for the Cloudera Data Engineering endpoint.
Older Cloudera Base on premises (Cloudera Runtime) versions
If your Cloudera Data Engineering service runs on an older Cloudera Base on premises (Cloudera Runtime) version that is not compatible with the latest Cloudera Data Engineering version, your Cloudera Data Engineering service is not eligible to perform either an in-place upgrade or a manual upgrade. For information about Cloudera Data Engineering and its compatible Cloudera Runtime version, see Compatibility for Cloudera Data Engineering and Cloudera Runtime components.
Solution: Upgrade Cloudera Base on premises (Cloudera Runtime) to a compatible version associated with the Cloudera Data Engineering version. For more information, see the Cloudera Base on premises upgrade documentation.
