Upgrade from WCS 5.2.1264 to 5.3.109

[Dani]

What is the best way to upgrade from the 5.2.1264 to the latest 5.3.109 ?

Can I use the latest WebSDK (2.0.259) against the 5.2 and than upgrade to 5.3 ? does 2.0.259 works against both versions ?

is there anything deprecated between 5.2 to 5.3 that might break my site ?

do I need to set anything manually ? or just upgrading the server will keep everything in place ?

Good day.

What is the best way to upgrade from the 5.2.1264 to the latest 5.3.109 ?

WCS 5.3 may be installed over WCS 5.2: New version installation with previous version update

Can I use the latest WebSDK (2.0.259) against the 5.2 and than upgrade to 5.3 ? does 2.0.259 works against both versions ?

WebSDK build 2.0.259 should work with both WCS major versions.

is there anything deprecated between 5.2 to 5.3 that might break my site ?

Please note that Java 8 is not supported any more in WCS 5.3, you shound install JDK 21 first: JDK installation

do I need to set anything manually ? or just upgrading the server will keep everything in place ?

At lease two steps needed:
1. Install JDK 21
2. Update WCS 5.2 to WCS 5.3

If I install the JDK21 while 5.2 is installed - will it keep working ? (I'm running on centos)

Yes, WCS 5.2 is also tested and working with JDK 21
We recommend you to deploy a staging server, update and test on it, then move it to production use.
