2. In the Operator details page, click on the Subscription tab. Click Edit Subscription.
3. In the Upgrade status tab, click the Upgrade available link.
4. Click the Preview install plan button and Approve to start the update.

Actual results

Expected results

No error is shown and migration succeeds.

Workaround

W1: Before applying the upgrade to 1.36.0
1. Patch the 1.35.0 CSV:

oc patch csv logic-operator-rhel8.v1.35.0 -n openshift-serverless-logic --type=json -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/install/spec/deployments/0/spec/selector/matchLabels", "value": {"app.kubernetes.io/name": "sonataflow-operator"}},{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/install/spec/deployments/0/label", "value": {"app.kubernetes.io/name": "sonataflow-operator"}},{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/install/spec/deployments/0/spec/template/metadata/labels", "value": {"app.kubernetes.io/name": "sonataflow-operator"}}]'

 
2. Next delete the deployment:

oc delete deployment logic-operator-rhel8-controller-manager -n openshift-serverless-logic

3. Wait for the deployment to be recreated:

oc get deployments -n openshift-serverless-logic 

4. Execute the upgrade via OCP Console as usual.

 
W2:
1. Remove 1.35.0 Operator - unnistall it
2. Install 1.36.0 Operator
 

Testing

Implement a automated test case for this scenario.
Improve the test environment to allow QE to execute this path without workarounds manually during test day sessions.
