Version 2022.2 upgrade guide
If you are upgrading to Leapwork Version 2022.2, there are major changes to the database which you should review and plan your upgrade accordingly.
Summary
Implementation of new features in 2022.2 has resulted in major updates to the Leapwork Windows platform database structure/data. During the upgrade process, all existing flows including their revision history will be updated by the upgrader script. The upgrade process is expected to take some time depending on the database size.
For instance, a database upgrade is expected to take approximately 5 mins for 10 GB and up to 3 hours for 1 TB database size. Until the database upgrade is complete, users will continue to see an "Assets are upgrading" message on the Leapwork Studio.
