How Can I Determine Which HVR Endpoint to Update When Downloading a New Version?

Question

How can I determine which HVR endpoint to update when downloading a new version?

Environment

HVR 6

Answer

To determine which endpoints to update for each HVR version, do the following:

1. Ensure you are registered with the Fivetran server. For more information, see our HVR 6 Licensing documentation.
2. In Fivetran, ensure the correct account name appears in the top left corner.
3. Navigate to Account Settings > Downloads.
4. Locate the release notes file for the HVR version you plan to upgrade to, and click to download it.

   NOTE: The release notes download file we provide for each HVR version is the same for each operating system.

5. Scroll through the release notes in the file for guidance on necessary updates. You’ll find phrases like “To use this feature, upgrade HVR on all machines” or “To fix this bug, upgrade HVR on the capture machine.”

Examples

To use the feature described in the following release note, you must upgrade HVR on all machines:

To resolve the bug described in the following release note, you must upgrade HVR on the capture machine:

IMPORTANT: If you connect to your source or target system without an HVR agent, and the release notes suggest updating your capture or integrate machine, you must upgrade the Hub machine instead.
