Notices

MongoDB migration for Design Server

HCL Link Design Server includes a migration script to help you seamlessly upgrade your older MongoDB database content to a newer MongoDB version to resolve security vulnerabilities and support new features. If you are upgrading from an older version of HCL Link that uses an older MongoDB version (such as version 4.0.5), you must migrate your database to retain your existing design artifacts such as maps, schemas, flows, and connections safely and without data loss.
