Application and schema upgrade

Summary: This section describes the upgrade process for an Application and its corresponding schemas to a new release of AIP Core. This process must be repeated for each Application you want to upgrade to a new release of AIP Core.

There are various methods available for completing an Application and schema upgrade:

AIP Console (available in ≥ 1.24 only)	Simple one click upgrade for any Application managed in AIP Console Only one tool is required All required actions (backup, schema upgrade, delivery folder upgrade, Assessment Model choices, AIP Console re-sync) are handled Functionality exists only when upgrading to AIP Core ≥ 8.3.8. To upgrade to older AIP Core releases, please use an alternative method.
CAST Server Manager GUI or CLI on each AIP Node (legacy method)	Must be actioned from the AIP Node which manages the Application Multiple actions using different tools are required (locate the schemas on the CAST Storage Service instance, remote access required to each AIP Node, AIP Console must be manually re-synced) Functionality exists for all combinations of AIP Core source and target releases.
Pre-configured set of batch scripts that leverage the CAST Server Manager CLI	Useful if you need to perform multiple Application/schema upgrades automatically Completes the upgrade silently Functionality exists for all combinations of AIP Core source and target releases.
