Types of Content Deployer upgrade

Depending on the product version from which you upgrade, and depending on the kind of setup you want to use, you can upgrade the Content Deployer in different ways.

Upgrade to use the new Add-on service feature

If you want to set up the product to make use of the new Add-on service feature, , then get your new resources from the following folders:
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer\ for the Content Deployer endpoint upgrade
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-worker\ for the Content Deployer worker upgrade
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-combined\ for the combined Content Deployer upgrade

Upgrade to content mashup

If you currently have an SDL Tridion Sites-only setup (always the case if you are upgrading from SDL Web 8.5) and you want to change your setup to a content mashup (that is, an integration with Tridion Docs), and you don't want to use the new Add-on service, then get your new resources from the following folders:
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-dx\ for the Content Deployer endpoint upgrade
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-dx-worker\ for the Content Deployer worker upgrade
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-dx-combined\ for the combined Content Deployer upgrade

Minimal upgrade

If you just want to perform a minimal upgrade, without changing anything, then get your new resources from the following folders:
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-sites\ for the Content Deployer endpoint upgrade
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-sites-worker\ for the Content Deployer worker upgrade
  • Content Delivery\roles\deployer\deployer-sites-combined\ for the combined Content Deployer upgrade
