Upgrade the AIQ Designer Proxy

IfUpgrade youthe areAIQ Designer Proxy only when the target AIQ version, browser setup, and customer environment require it. Treat old “Appvance Designer” wording as legacy; use AIQ and Scenario Editor terminology for current guidance.

Before upgrading

  • Confirm the current proxy version, target version, AIQ version, browser version, and operating system.
  • Back up configuration, certificates, and any customer-specific proxy settings.
  • Review firewall, antivirus, proxy, and certificate trust requirements.
  • Schedule downtime if the proxy affects active recording or playback.

Validation workflow

  1. Install or replace the proxy using the Webapproved Designerpackage.
  2. Confirm the proxy starts and the version of the Web Designer client is out of date or incompatible, you will be unable to continue until your upgrade the client. Follow this process to upgrade a previously installed Test Designer Client.

    The Appvance Web Designer Client is also referred to as the Local Proxy.
