2026.6.0
Upgrade Notes
To upgrade to AppControl 2026.6 follow these steps:
Upload the AppControl release package to your Mendix Cloud environment.
Disable the following scheduled events:
Core.SCE_process_models
Policies.SCE_check_all_apps
Deploy the package to your AppControl environment. (Note: We recommend that you first deploy to your ACC environment to test the upgrade)
After deploying the new AppControl package (and restarting the environment), go to Administration > System Logs / Tools > Background Jobs. Filter this view on the the job type 'System' and the text '2026.6' in the Message column. The upgrade will execute in the background and will update the storage format of all data policies. Wait for it to complete. Depending on the size of your environment it can take from 30-120 minutes to complete.
After the upgrade has completed, re-enable the scheduled events that you disabled in step #2 above. Restart the environment.
