Bamboo upgrade steps

[Rilwan Ahmed]

We are using Bamboo data center 7.2.1 in windows server. As per the upgrade path , to upgrade to version 9.6.5, We need to follow the path 7.2.1 → 8.0.12 → 9.6.5. As I am new to Bamboo, can someone let me know full process to upgrade this.

Please note:

1. We are using database Microsoft SQL server 2016 (version 13.00.7024) and  Java version 1.8.0_191
2. I have the upgrade steps link https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo0906/bamboo-upgrade-guide-1376027576.html . So wanted to know if there are any steps or instructions I need to follow during upgrade other than in the link mentioned

Hi @Rilwan Ahmed and welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes you can follow those steps. You basically need to perform it twice. Once for the intermediate version and then for your final target version.

Of course there can be things to consider specifically for your environment.
Therefore I strongly recommend performing this upgrade on a test environment first.
