Community to Enterprise Upgrade Procedure

    • Use the tool arangodump to take a backupof your data stored by your Community Edition installation
    • Install the ArangoDB Enterprise Edition package(and start your Single Instance, Active Failover or Cluster)
    • Restore the backup using the tool .

    Procedure for an In-Place Upgrade

    • Shutdown ArangoDB and make a copy of your data directory (e.g., in Linux, byusing the cp command). If you are using a setup that involves several arangod processes(e.g. Active Failover or Cluster) please make sure all arangod processesare stopped and all the data directories in use are copied in a safe location
    • Install the ArangoDB Enterprise Edition package
    • If you are moving from version A to version B, where B > A, start arangod onyour data directory with the option (in addition toany other options you are currently using). The server will stop after a while(check the log file of arangod as it should contain relevant information aboutthe upgrade). If you are using a setup that involves several arangod processes(e.g. Active Failover or Cluster) this step has to be repeated for all _arangod_processes
    • Start ArangoDB Enterprise Edition(in the same way you were starting ArangoDB Community Edition)
