AIQ 5.3.11

Not required if you are upgrading from 5.3.8 or later.

If your controller was running AIQ 5.3.7 or earlier before this upgrade, ask your Appvance account team for the post-upgrade cleanup utility and run it once when the upgrade completes.

Why it is needed:Why: 5.3.7 and earlier shipped with an updater bug that could leave old, stale .jar files sitting alongside their replacements instead of being overwritten during an upgrade. Left in place, those files can produce runtime errors that have nothing to do with your configuration.

Who needs it: Only controllers that were running 5.3.0 through 5.3.7 before upgrading. If you are coming from 5.2.x or older, no action is needed.

What to do: YourAsk your Appvance account team for the post-upgrade cleanup utility and run it once when the upgrade completes. They will provide the utilityversion for your platform (Windows or Linux/macOS), walk you through the run,run and confirm the log with you.log. The utility only removes jars strictly older than the installed version — it never touches current or newer files — and it writes a log of everything it did to the distribution folder for your records.
