Preparing to upgrade

Complete The following are the following prerequisites.specific prerequisites you must complete before you upgrade WSO2 DSS:

  • Before you upgrade to the latest version of WSO2 DSS, you should create a staging database. When you upgrade the database, you will be copying the data from the production database to the staging database. Once this data migration is completed, you will install the latest version of WSO2 DSS and point it to the staging database, which then becomes the production database

    NoteYou

    database, which is essentially an empty database. Note that you should NOT connect a new version of WSO2 DSS to an older database that has not been

    migrated

    upgraded. 

  • Make a backup of the database and the <DSS_HOME> directory prior to upgrading. The <DSS_HOME> directory can simply be copied to the new database.

  • Stop all the Carbon servers connected to the database before running the migration scripts.

    Note

    Note that the upgrade should be done during a period when there is low traffic on the system.

Limitations

  • This upgrade can only be done for some database types. For example, if you are using MySQL currently and you need to migrate to Oracle in the new version, these scripts will not work.
  • You cannot roll back an upgrade. It is impossible to restore a backup of the previous server and retry the upgrade process.

Downtime

The downtime is limited to the time taken for switching databases when the staging database is promoted to the actual production status.

Upgrading the database

To migrate from upgrade the existing production database to the new database (staging database):

...

  1. Stop the current server.
  2. Select the relevant

    migration

    script for the upgrade from here

    Select the migration.sql script corresponding to your database type. For example

     on the production database. The script you use will depend on the type of database you are using, for instance, if your database is MySQL, you need to

    execute mysql

    run the execute mysql-migration.sql

    . Note that there

     command in MySQL. Running this script will ensure that the database is upgraded with the additional tables and schemas which are required for the new DSS version.

    Info

    There are three migration scripts available: migration-service-provider.sqlmigration-identity.sql and migration.sql. However,

      for

    for all Carbon products except WSO2 IS, only the migration.sql script is required to be executed.

    Download and
  3. Once you run

    the 

    the migration

    .sql script

    script on the

    old database.

Upgrading from DSS 3.1.1 to DSS 3.2.0

  1. production database, copy the data to the staging database you created. This becomes the new database for your new version of WSO2 DSS.

  2. Download DSS 3.2.0 and connect it to

    the

    your staging database

    you created when upgrading the database.
    Connect the latest production server to the database as described below:
    Configure

    .

Upgrading the configurations

To  migrate the configurations to the staging database:

  1. Configure the following files for the new production server. 
  2. Since a separate database (staging database) is used for the upgrade, the data that is collected in the actual production system while the upgrade is in progress should be added to the upgraded database using a scriptCopy the following directories from the old database to the staging database.
    • To migrate the super tenant settings, copy the <DSS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server directory.
    • If multitenancy is used, copy the <DSS_HOME>/repository/tenants directory.
  3. Start the server.

Recommended Checkpoints

The databases should contain the newly added tables, which are namely as follows:

  • UM_DOMAIN

  • UM_SYSTEM_USER

  • UM_SYSTEM_ROLE

  • UM_SYSTEM_USER_ROLE

Going into production

The following are recommended tests to run on the staging system. 

  • Create multiple user stores and try adding users to different user stores.

  • Create multiple tenants and add different user stores to the different tenants. Thereafter, add users to the various user stores. 

Once the above tests are run successfully, it is safe to consider that the upgrade is ready for production. However, it is advised to test any features that are being used in production.
