If you have a clustered environment, there are special considerations you should make when upgrading Jamf Pro so that the database schema change is handled properly.
Note: To take full advantage of all new features, bug fixes, and enhancements available in Jamf Pro, it is recommended that you use the latest version of the Jamf Pro server and Jamf Pro apps. To upgrade the Jamf Pro apps, simply replace the existing applications with the latest version.
  1. Back up the current database.
    For instructions, see "Backing up the Database" in one of the following resources:
  2. Stop Tomcat on each instance of the web application.

    For instructions, see Starting and Stopping Tomcat.

  3. Copy the latest version of the Jamf Pro installer to the server hosting the primary web application, and then run the installer.
  4. Verify the following:

    1. You can access the primary web application from a browser.

    2. The initialization process has finished.

    3. You are able to log in.

  5. Copy the latest version of the Jamf Pro installer to the other servers, and then run the installer on each server.
  6. If you previously changed the Limited Access setting in Jamf Pro, verify the setting is still properly configured for each web application server.
