Motadata Service Desk – Server Upgrade Guide

note

• From v8.2 the server upgrade need not be done incrementally. For example, you can upgrade the server from v8.2 to v8.5.0 directly.
• Kindly perform a DB backup before doing an upgrade.
• From v8.6.0, you can upgrade the Motadata ServiceOps application using a single installer file across all supported operating systems. The supported versions include Ubuntu 18, 20, 22, 24 and RedHat 8, 9.2 and 9.4.
