Upgrading from 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 in a ThingWorx Single-Server Environment
These are the instructions for upgrading the ThingWorx Connection Server from version 9.2.1 to version 9.2.2 when the Connection Server connects to a ThingWorx single-server environment. It is expected that you have already downloaded and extracted the distribution bundle.
1. As the Always-On Connection Server 9.2.2 uses the same configuration file as Always-On 9.2.1, you can copy the configuration from Always-On 9.2.1 in to the conf directory of Always-On 9.2.2.
