alteryx alteryx server UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2022.1.0 and <= 2022.1.1.42654

Fixed in: newer than 2022.1.1.42654

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2022.1.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy alteryx-server || rpm -q alteryx-server || alteryx-server --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 2022.1.1.42654 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade alteryx-server

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade alteryx-server

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2022.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison alteryx-server sudo apt install alteryx-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_2022.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold alteryx-server

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list alteryx-server sudo dnf downgrade alteryx-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_2022.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add alteryx-server

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
