\"SonarUpgradeImg2\"<\/a>
\nAfter preparing the upgrade of our SonarQube version in the previous post, about upgrade prerequisites<\/a>, which allowed us to present how to make a backup of our Oracle database (or at least of the Sonar schema), we will see now how to perform this upgrade.<\/p>\n

Remember that you can always consult the documentation on this subject since the SonarSource site<\/a>. This procedure changes very rarely, but I recommend that you always refer to it, in case this article would become obsolete.<\/p>\n

Also, our will realize an upgrade of SonarQube installed as a Windows service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have seen in the previous post<\/a> how to perform our upgrade from the Update Center of SonarQube. Here are the operations to do, at the time I dit it:<\/p>\n

\"SonarQube<\/a><\/p>\n

Plugins update<\/h2>\n

We can see a number of operations to be performed on the plugins we have installed in our environment code analysis.<\/p>\n

Plugins uninstall<\/h3>\n

Generally, I doing this upgrade of plugins in two steps, the first of which is to uninstall the plugins that I do not want anymore, or are no more compatible with the new version of SonarQube that I want to install.<\/p>\n

\"SonarQubePluginUninstall1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can select multiple plugins to uninstall.<\/p>\n

It is necessary to restart SonarQube to update the Update Center. In our environment, it requires a Start \/ Stop of the Windows service.<\/p>\n

Upgrade \/ Installation de plugins<\/h3>\n

Once SonarQube has started again, we can see in the Update Center that the plugins previously deleted are not anymore present in the tab ‘Installed Plugins’. They also have disappeared from the directory \u2018..\\extensions\\plugins’ where they are located by default.<\/p>\n

We can now perform a second step to upgrade the plugins that need to be …<\/p>\n

\"Upgrade4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… and install either new plugins, either new versions of plugins that we did remove in the previous step.<\/p>\n

A new Re-start of the Windows service, and back to the Update Center to ensure that all operations have been successfull. You can also download yourself the plugins from the SonarSource <\/a>site<\/a> into their own folder, but this requires the knowledge of the correct versions of the plugins. And this is where the Update Center does the job for you!<\/p>\n

SonarQube upgrade<\/h2>\n

We already addressed this subject some months ago, in this post Sonar Upgrade<\/a>, when Sonar was not yet named SonarQube. The only other difference is that this article was related to a Sonar installation under Tomcat while now we have SonarQube as a Windows service. But the architecture of our environment remains the same, and therefore the steps to update also. So I will just list them without much details.<\/p>\n

Uninstall the current SonarQube Service<\/h3>\n

First, we must unininstall the current version of the SonarQube service. For this, we open a DOS command windows, and go into:<\/p>\n
