Upgrade Instructions For This Release

A fresh install is required for Liquibase Enterprise & Business 8.0 to function successfully. Upgrading from 7.18 to 8.0 using the Install New Software feature is not recommended. If installing to the same location, you will need to first uninstall the previous installation.

Installation still requires a minimum of Java 8 to be installed on the operating system beforehand.

Coming Soon: Revamped Liquibase Enterprise Docs!

All Liquibase Enterprise documentation will be available on docs.liquibase.com within the coming weeks! This new format will allow users to quickly find the documentation that caters directly to their user persona.

All relevant content from the existing Liquibase Enterprise Documentation in Confluence and DMC Documentation sites will be migrated.

Notable Changes

Java JRE & Eclipse Upgrades

Liquibase Enterprise & Business 8.0 and forward ships with and requires a Java 11 runtime environment. Previous versions used Java 8.

If your installation uses a different JRE than the one bundled with Liquibase Enterprise, you will need to update to Java 11 prior to running Liquibase Enterprise 8.0.

Also in version 8.0 we have upgraded the underlying Eclipse framework to the latest version. This enables us to use the latest libraries and maintain defenses against security vulnerabilities.

See the Notifications section for upgrade instructions.

DMC Update Instructions

The process of updating the Deployment Monitoring Console from version 7.0 or later to the latest version is similar to the installation process.

Go to software.datical.com, download and copy the datical-service-unix-8_0_267-master.sh file to your existing DMC server.
Run the installer with the following command and enter your existing OS user as the admin user and admin group:

/home/datical> sudo bash /datical-service-unix-8_0_267-master.sh

Enter the directory of the previous DMC installation when prompted for an install location.

The installer will update your installation and restart affected DMC services. You can begin using the new version of the DMC immediately.
