Post-Upgrade Action Required: AIQ-5.3.x → AIQ-5.3.11

(Not required if you are upgrading from 5.3.8 → 5.3.X)

If your controller was running AIQ-5.3.7 or earlier before upgrading to AIQ-5.3.8, run the cleanup script below once after the upgrade completes.

If you are upgrading from 5.3.8 or newer, these actions are not required.

Why: AIQ-5.3.7 and earlier versions shipped with an updater bug that could leave old, stale .jar files sitting alongside their replacements instead of being overwritten during an upgrade. If left in place, these stale files can cause confusing runtime errors that are unrelated to anything in your actual configuration.

Who needs this: Only controllers upgrading from AIQ-5.3.0 to AIQ-5.3.7. If you’re upgrading from 5.2.x or an older release alsodirectly includesto fixes5.3.8, no action is needed.

What to do:

    Download the cleanup script for Linuxyour platformplatform: compatibility,
    repositoryWindows: synchronization,Remove-StaleAiqJars.ps1 cloudLinux/macOS: storageremove-stale-aiq-jars.sh notifications, and Run the script: 
    Windows:     .\Remove-StaleAiqJars.ps1 -Path C:\AIQ\aiq_distribution
Linux/macOS: ./remove-stale-aiq-jars.sh /opt/aiq/aiq_distribution

    The script generationonly tooling.removes jars strictly older than your currently installed version — it will never touch current or newer files. A log of everything it did is written to the distribution folder for your records.
