  2. Go to <PORTAL_APTARE_HOME>/updates location and copy <PORTAL_APTARE_HOME>/updates/aptare_dc_upgrader-<OS>.zip to a temporary location on any other server or Data Collector server directly.
  3. For Data Collector on Windows, copy <PORTAL_APTARE_HOME>/updates/aptare_dc_upgraders-windows.zip to a temporary location on any other server or Data Collector server directly.
  4. For Data Collector on Linux, copy <PORTAL_APTARE_HOME>/updates/aptare_dc_upgrader-linux.zip to a temporary location on any other server or Data Collector server directly.
