How do I find the history of product version upgrades in the QIE interface?

Question

Currently were on the latest release but wanted to know if there's a "log" that shows the "update" history so that we track when QIE was actually done.

Answer 1

There is a preUpgrade folder that is created before each update in the QIE folder.

Usually located at: C:\ProgramData\QIE

The date on that folder will show the date of the update.

 

Also in the QIE folder, you can find the realease-notes.txt which has a log of the dates of when each release was made available.

Answer 2

Good question.  At this time, we don't have a dialog within QIE that shows the upgrade history.  

However, in the QIE Home directory (Usually c:\ProgramData\QIE\) you will find "preUpgrade_{date}_{time}" folders.  These folders contain a backup of the qie.war, release notes, and the lib directory before the upgrade occurred.  It is not a full history, as we only keep a couple of these folders at a time in case we need to manually recover from an upgrade.
