  • 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

    Note

    You should NOT connect a new version of WSO2 DSS to an older database that has not been migrated.

  • Make a backup of the database and the <DSS_HOME> directory prior to upgrading. The <AS<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 that the upgrade should be done during a period when there is low traffic on the system.

...

  1. Connect the latest production server to the database as described below: 
  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 script.
  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.
