My Platform update is taking a very long time to complete or appears stuck, what can I do?

If you've applied an update and it's taking an abnormally long time to apply (greater than 30 minutes) check here for some solutions.

Occasionally a web update will appear to be stuck. Here are a few things you can do to determine the issue and possibly fix the situation.

  • If you're updating to v5.6, be aware that while previous updates have taken 5-10 minutes, v5.6 has extensive database cleanup operations and generally takes 30-45 minutes for most users. 
  • If you initiated the update from a workstation, try logging into the Platform desktop and initiating it from the desktop directly. Sometimes firewall rules may prevent the update from being downloaded properly when initiated from a workstation.
  • Check the available space on the C:\ of the Platform Server itself, if free space is less than 5GB, consider deleting old logs from the service directories located in:
C:\ProgramData\ProMAX

NOTE: The Programdata directory is a hidden directory by default

  • If you have an extremely large database file (most common if you have a large LTO catalog) the update may take longer than expected. Updates on systems with large catalogs may take over an hour.
