   If you are updating from version V4.3.0.0.0 through V4.3.0.5.0, then complete the following steps to update your data sources:

   Important: After updating the GE Digital APM Server to V4.3.0.6.0, you must also update the data sources to which you want to connect to GE Digital APM. This action can be completed via the Meridium Package Deployer window, which should have appeared automatically after completing step g. If you need to access this window manually, then navigate to the folder C:\Program Files\Meridium\Upgrade\DBUpgrade, and then open the file Meridium.Package.Deployer.exe.
   1. In the Target Version box, select 4030006.
   2. On the Meridium Package Deployer window, in the Datasource box, select the data source that you want to update to V4.3.0.6.0.
   3. Select Validate.
   4. Select Deploy.
      Note: After you select Deploy, a message will appear, indicating that you should back up your database before proceeding. You should always back up the database before beginning any upgrade or update process. If any problems occur during the update, the database can then be restored to its original state from the backup copy.
      Note: If the data source update fails, a message will appear, indicating that you should consult a log file. If this occurs, then, to update the data source to V4.3.0.6.0, you should follow the standard procedure to initiate the database upgrade process.

   5. For each data source that you want to update to V4.3.0.6.0, repeat steps ii through iv.

      When each data source has been updated to V4.3.0.6.0, then you have successfully updated the GE Digital APM Server and Add-Ons to V4.3.0.6.0, and you should proceed to the next step in the update section of the Upgrade or Update GE Digital APM to V4.3.0.6.0 topic.
