Nuxeo Aspera Upgrade Notes

Updated: October 30, 2024

This chapter highlights some major information about upgrade from Nuxeo Aspera Connector 2.x to Nuxeo Aspera Connector 3.0.x.
For a listing of improvements and functional enhancements in version 3.0.x, please see the release notes

Because of the changes to parameters in the nuxeo.conf file as well as code/API changes described below, this release is labeled as a major release.
Transfers that exist in your system that were started/created with a previous version will not work with this release and attempts to complete them will fail with this release.
Updating the Connector to version 3.0.0 is not recommended if you have ongoing transfers.
