Before You Update

This section outlines things to consider before you embark on one of the following update paths:

• Updating from versions earlier than 2017.
• Tip on resetting log data settings. (All update paths)
• Upgrading large MOVEit Transfer deployments.

Updating from Versions Earlier than 2017

Instructions for updating from versions earlier than 2017 are outlined in the MOVEit Transfer 2017 Plus Installation Guide.

Reset Tamper Check for Logs

If you have logs that include data from before and after a software update, tamper check verification shows false positive tamper errors when verifying the logs

To prevent this situation, do the following when updating MOVEit DMZ software to MOVEit Transfer 2017:

1. Before you update, manually start the MOVEit DMZ Log Tamper Check program from the Start menu.
2. Immediately after you update:
   • Sign on as System Administrator. Click SETTINGS.
   • In the System section, Tamper Detection row, click Reset All Orgs.
3. Click Reset Tamper Detection Data.

Updating from Versions Earlier than 2017

Certain large MOVEit Transfer deployments will update significantly faster than before. Please see MOVEit Transfer 2017 Plus Installation Guide for details on this and new disk space requirements that enable the quicker upgrade.
