Background

This page provides highlights, timeline and general information about the latest OnBase upgrade. 

Who and what will be affected by the upgrade?

  • All OnBase users
  • All system components will be updated including the server & database infrastructure and user clients 

Why upgrade OnBase?

OnBase upgrades provide new functionality, software corrections, security enhancements and compliance updates. Foundation 24.1 is the annual release for 2024.

What actions will I need to take for the upgrade?

  • End users will need to accept the prompt to install the new version if using any desktop clients. No action is necessary if using the web client. 
  • Departmental Certified Administrators will need to assist in testing their solutions. Once the upgrade is done in production, admins will also need to install the new version of the OnBase Thick client, Configuration, OnBase Studio and/or OnBase Unity Management Console. Please refer to the OnBase Training page for these installers. You can install the updates over any existing installs.

When will the upgrade take place?

We are currently testing in the DMODEV environment. Other environments will be upgraded by late 2025, exact date TBD. A more detailed timeline will be published when available.

Will there be any downtime for this upgrade?

OnBase is not expected to be fully down during the upgrade, but you may experience a loss of or disconnect of any active sessions.  Please simply wait a moment and reconnect your client, or avoid using OnBase during the upgrade, which will happen outside normal business hours.

Hyland Software provides one major (long term) release version and a few minor releases for OnBase each year. We typically aim for one ugprade per year.
