Re: [ReDBox] migration from 1.5 to 1.6

[Dave Huthnance]

Hi,

Others may do it differently but this is how I do it.

I always do a fresh install of the new version and migrate the data using the restore tool tf_restore.sh

See: http://www.redboxresearchdata.com.au/documentation/system-administration/general-administration/system-restore-or-migration

Make sure you copy the solr eventlog index in Redbox at /solr/indexes/eventLog/index This is used for the dashboard graphing etc in 1.6.

I do the new install in a new directory and don'tr overwrite the old files. eg. I create a new directories mint-1.6 and redbox-1.6 then after install do a soft link to create shortcut directories redbox and mint. Then multiple versions can coexist in the one directory. To go back you then just need to recreate the soft link to the old version. Note when I do this I need to change the system config.json back to: export PROJECT_HOME="/opt/tf2/mint" from mint-1.6

Regards,

Dave

Thanks Dave.

There isn't anything special required to migrate to 1.6 from a data perspective which is what the restore script will help with (though there's never any harm in running it). There are some configuration items that you will need to add depending on whether you are after the new features included in this release (such as reporting).

We still need to write some documentation on how to do this (as well as the features for  the upcoming 1.6.1 release) however if you have a look at the diff of the system-config.json file and dataset.json file. You can see the changes that are required to get reports and embargoes functional
