AIQ 5.0 Database Upgrade

Use this page as a controlled checklist for upgrading the AIQ database to the version required by AIQ 5.0. Database upgrades should be planned, backed up, and validated before the environment is returned to users.

Pre-upgrade checks

Confirm the current AIQ version, target AIQ 5.0 build, database engine, and supported upgrade path.
Create a verified database backup or snapshot before running upgrade steps.
Confirm available disk space, maintenance window, rollback plan, and stakeholder approval.
Stop or quiesce AIQ services according to the approved upgrade procedure.
Review custom integrations, scheduled jobs, and reporting dependencies that may rely on database content.

Validation workflow

Run the upgrade in a lower environment first when possible.
Apply the database upgrade steps exactly once and record any warnings.
Start AIQ services and verify login, scenario execution, reports, and integrations.
Monitor logs and database health after the first post-upgrade executions.

Maintenance note: Do not retry schema changes blindly after a failed upgrade. Preserve logs and restore from the approved backup if rollback is required.
