Here are good ways you can follow during and after upgrading:
Monitor the server console/log file to be aware of the upgrade status or any issues during the upgrade.
By default, eXo Platform records all information in $PLATFORM_TOMCAT_HOME/logs/platform.log
(in Tomcat), $PLATFORM_JBOSS_HOME/standalone/log/server.log
(in JBoss) or $NATIVE_INSTALLER_DIR/apps/exoplatform/logs/platform.log
(in Native Installer).
A successful upgrade typically logs the followings:
The first important message like:
| INFO | Start transparent upgrade framework [o.e.c.upgrade.UpgradeProductService<Catalina-startStop-1>]
The list of activated plugins: From 4.3.1 to 4.4.0 there are only two upgrade plugins.
