Introducing the Quantexa Upgrade Knowledge Hub

We are excited to announce the launch of the Quantexa Upgrade Knowledge Hub, a comprehensive collection of articles and best practices designed to make your platform upgrade process more transparent, predictable, and efficient.

This new section on the Community site provides a step-by-step journey through every phase of an upgrade, from initial strategic planning through to final release. It's filled with practical advice, templates, and real-world considerations to help you succeed.

Make sure you're signed in to the Community to access all the articles.

What's Included in the Knowledge Hub?

The Knowledge Hub is structured into clear, chronological sections that mirror the lifecycle of an upgrade project.

Planning for Success

This initial section covers all the strategic planning required before you begin. It guides you through defining your scope, choosing an upgrade approach, estimating effort, resourcing your team, and creating a robust testing strategy.

The Preparation Stage

Once your plan is in place, this section details the critical steps to prepare for execution. Learn how to set up tracking, gather your dependencies, establish a parallel development strategy, understand support channels, and turn your plan into actionable JIRA tickets.

The Execution Stage

This section provides the hands-on technical guidance for performing the upgrade itself. It covers how to execute an incremental upgrade hop-by-hop, practical considerations for testing, and a checklist for coordinating the final merge of your code.

Version-Specific Guidance

Dive into practical reviews and "what to watch out for" articles for specific Quantexa versions, including a detailed look at the 2.6 upgrade and the key migrations involved.

Other Key Topics

Explore important related subjects, such as the strategic benefits of migrating from DSL to QSL for graph scripting and how to reduce technical debt by removing Data Pack customizations using Fusion Extensibility.

This collection of resources is essential for anyone involved in a Quantexa upgrade:

• Upgrade & Delivery Leads can use it to structure their entire project plan and ensure no steps are missed.
