Upgrading Cloudera Data EngineeringPDF version

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.

If the version of your Cloudera Data Engineering service is older than six months, it is outside of the upgrade window. Older Cloudera Data Engineering versions do not support in-place upgrade and you cannot use the process listed in Handling upgrade failures for Cloudera Data Engineering. To check whether your Cloudera Data Engineering version is eligible for the in-place upgrade option, see Support lifecycle policy.

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 can perform a backup and restore. For more information, see Cloudera Data Engineering upgrade version compatibility.

Solution: A manual upgrade option is available. To upgrade, create a new Cloudera Data Engineering Service and transfer your jobs to the new service by following the instructions in Backing up and restoring Cloudera Data Engineering jobs.

If your Cloudera Data Engineering service uses an old Data Lake version, and therefore it 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 Data Lake version, see Compatibility for Cloudera Data Engineering and Runtime components.

Solution: Upgrade your Data Lake to a compatible version associated with the Cloudera Data Engineering version. For more information about upgrading Data Lake, see Upgrading a Data Lake.

There is no upgrade available to Cloudera Data Engineering hotfix versions.
