API Servers
On each API Server do these steps. If you have a separate DB server, do the DB upgrade steps on that server.
...
Additional API and UI upgrade steps
Add translations for new UI labels to lang_xx_XX_custom.json. See Abiquo UI client language configuration
Optionally add new configuration to client-config-custom.json. See Configure Abiquo UI
In your UI configuration, check that the API endpoint is pointing to your Abiquo API server:
