If you intend to install DTP Enterprise Pack and are on Windows, you may be prompted to download the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package during the installation process. See Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for additional information.
Upgrading with DTP Enterprise Pack
You cannot upgrade directly to the latest version of DTP with Enterprise Pack if you are upgrading from 2020.1 or older. For older installations, upgrade to 2020.1, then incrementally upgrade to the latest version. Upgrading incrementally ensures that the MongoDB shipped with DTP Enterprise Pack functions as expected. Consult the table below for upgrade paths:
| Current Version | Upgrade to |
|---|---|
| 5.4.3 or older | 2020.1 |
| 2020.1 | 2020.2 |
| 2020.2 | 2021.1 |
| 2021.1 | 2021.2 or newer |

Starting with DTP 2020.1, DTP is installed in two directories. The main installation directory contains application files, such as the web server and other executables. The DTP data directory contains application configuration files, as well as data sent to DTP from connected tools. By default, DTP application files will be installed in the C:\Program Files\Parasoft\DTP directory and DTP data files will be installed in the C:\ProgramData\Parasoft\DTP directory. See Installation Overview for additional Information.

If you did not install Enterprise Pack during the initial DTP installation process, you can re-run the latest DTP installer to install DTP Enterprise Pack at any time.

Upgrading the Database Structure
DTP verifies the database structure when you log in with administrator credentials after upgrading. You may be prompted to update the database.
To upgrade the database structure, click Run Update. A message is displayed when the database schema upgrade process is finished and DTP is ready to use.
Checking Database Updater Status
The database updater status page shows the version and status of the DTP database. To view it, choose Report Center Settings from the settings (gear icon) menu and click Database Status.
Post-Upgrade Steps
After an upgrade, you may need to manually recreate certain configurations previously made in the <DTP_HOME>/bin/variables file. Configurations you may have made include:
Additional Notes
When upgrading DTP, a backup is automatically created in the same parent directory. For example, a DTP installation at /home/test/dtp would result in a backup at /home/test/dtpYYMMDD_HHmmSS, where YYMMDD_HHmmSS represents the date and time when the backup and upgrade were created. When crontab has been modified by your DTP upgrade script, the old crontab is backed up to a <DTP_INSTALL>/bin/cronguard.cron~ file.
