Installation & Administration
Upgrade CardIQ application files and sequential SQL migrations with backups, validation and conservative rollback.
Back up the database, uploads and other persistent files, hosting-only configuration, and any Wallet certificates or credential files. Record the deployed application and schema state, review release notes and migration files, use a maintenance window for material changes, and rehearse in staging where practical. Verify every backup before proceeding.
Deploy the authorized release files without overwriting environment-specific config.php or persistent uploads. Use the release instructions and migration tracker where available to determine applicable install/update_v*.sql files and their order. Inspect each SQL file, never skip a required migration, and never assume every migration is repeat-safe. Stop on errors and investigate rather than blindly rerunning changes.
After the update, test the public site and HTTPS, Super Admin and Company Admin login, employee and company profiles, QR/NFC destinations, mobile authentication, entitled APIs and webhooks, configured Wallet issuance, lifecycle controls, email delivery, uploads, audit records and private logs. Revalidate enabled enterprise identity integrations, including Entra sign-in, Entra lifecycle reconciliation and SCIM Users provisioning where configured.
CardIQ does not claim an automatic rollback for every database migration. Where rollback is required, restore a verified pre-upgrade database, compatible application files, configuration and persistent-file set, then validate the combined state before returning traffic.
CardIQ includes an administrator database export capability, but does not claim automatic full-environment backups. The hosting operator must define encrypted retention and offsite copies for database, uploads, configuration and Wallet material; restrict access and routinely perform restore tests.
