Preparing to upgrade

The following prerequisites should be completed  before upgrading.

Migrating configurations

Follow the procedure below to migrate configurations from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0.

Note

Configurations should not be copied directly from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0 because some of th configuration files were updated with new properties between the two releases.

  1. Make the required changes in the datasource files in the <CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources directory to make sure that they are configured as required. For more information, see Datasources.
  2. Check the configurations in the following files in <CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/data-bridge directory for CEP 4.1.0, and apply the same changes in CEP 4.2.0.
    • data-agent-config.xml
    • data-bridge-config.xml
  3. Check the configurations in the following files in CEP 4.1.0, and apply same configurations in CEP 4.2.0. 

    Configuration FileLocation
    axis2.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2
    axis2_client.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2
    carbon.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf
    master-datasources.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources
    identity.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf
    log4j.properties<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf
    registry.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf
    catalina-server.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat
    web.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat
  4. If the Cipher tool was configured for CEP 4.1.0, check the configurations in the following files and apply the same changes in CEP 4.2.0.

    Configuration FileLocation
    cipher-text.properties<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/security
    cipher-tool.properties<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/security
  5. Check the configurations in the other files located in the <CEP 4.1.0_HOME>/repository/conf directory and apply the same changes to CEP 4.2.0.
  6. If there are any third party libraries used with CEP 4.1.0 that you want to migrate, copy the following directories as applicable from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0.
    • If you have used JMS libraries, JDBC libraries etc, copy <CEP_HOME>/repository/components/lib.
    • If you have used OSGi bundles such as SVN kit etc, copy <CEP_HOME>/repository/components/dropins.
  7. Start the CEP 4.2.0 server. For more information, see Running the Product.

Migrating artifacts

All artifacts can be migrated from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0 via Composite Application Archive (CAR) files. For detailed instructions package artifacts as C-App archives, see Packaging Artifacts as C-App Archive.

You should manually deploy Composite Application Archive (CAR) files that you have in CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0.

Info

To migrate deployment artifacts:

  • Copy the <CEP_HOME>/repository/deployment/server directory from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0.
  • If multi-tenancy is used, copy the <CEP_HOME>/repository/tenants directory from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0.

Updating execution plans

WSO2 CEP 4.2.0 uses Siddhi 3.1.2 whereas CEP 4.1.0 uses Siddhi 3.0.5.

All Siddhi versions older than Siddhi 3.1.2 add a length window of size 1 for the initial stream of join queries. From Siddhi 3.1.2 onwards, a length window of size 0 is added. Therefore, once you migrate execution plans from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0, you need to manually add a length window of size 1 for the join queries as shown below (i.e. if you were relying on a length window of size 1 to be added by Siddhi in CEP 4.1.0).

e.g., The following query is included in an execution plan in CEP 4.1.0.

Code Block
languagesql
from TempStream[temp > 30.0]#window.time(1 min) as T join RegulatorStream[isOn == false] as R
  on T.roomNo == R.roomNo
select T.roomNo, R.deviceID, 'start' as action
insert into RegulatorActionStream;
 

When this execution plan is migrated to CEP 4.2.0, #window.length(1) property should be manually added to it as shown below.

Code Block
languagesql
from TempStream[temp > 30.0]#window.time(1 min) as T  join RegulatorStream[isOn == false]#window.length(1) as R
  on T.roomNo == R.roomNo
select T.roomNo, R.deviceID, 'start' as action
insert into RegulatorActionStream;

 

Migrating dashboard elements

This section covers the additional steps are required to migrate dashboard elements (i.e. gadgets and dashboards).

The Analytics Dashboard functionality in CEP 4.2.0 is powered by WSO2 Dashboard Server 2.1.0 whereas the same functionality in CEP 4.1.0 and earlier versions is powered by WSO2 Gadget Server 1.4.0. This section explains how to migrate the gadgets and dashboards from CEP 4.1.0 to 4.2.0.

There are two methods that can be used to migrate gadgets and dashboards between the two CEP versions.

  • Deploying the gadgets and dashboards in a CAR file
  • Migrating the dashboards and gadgets pointing your product home directory.

In both methods, the following two files are used to execute the migration.

File NamePathDescription
ds-migration-1.0.x-2.0.x.bat or ds-migration-1.0.x-2.0.x.sh<CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.xThis triggers the execution of the migration
migration.xml<CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.xThis contains the migration configuration that specifies the mode and user inputs.

 

Click on the relevant tab depending on the method you want to follow.

titleUsing CAR files

Follow the procedure below to migrate gadgets and dashboards using CAR files.

Info

This method is appropriate when the dashboard elements to be migrated are deployed via a CAR file in CEP 4.1.0.

  1. Open the <CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboard/migration1.0x-2.0.x/migration.xml file, and comment out the Portal File Migration section as shown in the example below.

    Code Block

                <!-- <DestinationPassword>admin</DestinationPassword> -->
    
                <!-- TenantDomains - Specify the tenant domain - This will migrate all the dashboards within these tenants. If you do not put anything here, It will update all the tenant dashboards -->
                <!-- <TenantDomains></TenantDomains>-->
            <!-- </DSMigration> -->
  2. Run the following command to run the migration script.
    For Windows: <CEP-4.1.0_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/ds-migration-1.0.x-2.0.x.bat --run
    For Linux: <CEP-4.1.0_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/ds-migration-1.0.x-2.0.x.sh
  3. Pack the required gadgets and dashboards in WSO2 CEP 4.1.0 to a CAR file and deploy it in WSO2 CEP 4.2.0. For more information, see Packaging Artifacts as C-App Archive.
  4. Perform the following steps for each gadget.

    Info

    <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY> is the directory you specified for the DestinationDir parameter in the Portal File Migration section of the <CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboard/migration1.0x-2.0.x/migration.xml file.

     

    1. Navigate to the home directory of the gadget. (e.g., <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/my_gadget).
    2. Replace the <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/my_gadget/js/main.js file with the <CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/resources/main.js file.
    3. Similarly, replace the <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/my_gadget/js/outputAdapterUiLibrary.js file with <CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/resources/outputAdapterUiLibrary.js file.

  3. Run the following command to run the migration script.
    For Windows: <CEP-4.1.0_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/ds-migration-1.0.x-2.0.x.bat --run
    For Linux: <CEP-4.1.0_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/ds-migration-1.0.x-2.0.x.sh
  4. Perform the following steps for each gadget.

    Info

    <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY> is the directory you specified for the DestinationDir parameter in the Portal File Migration section of the <CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboard/migration1.0x-2.0.x/migration.xml file.

     

    1. Navigate to the home directory of the gadget. (e.g., <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/my_gadget).
    2. Replace the <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/my_gadget/js/main.js file with the <CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/resources/main.js file.
    3. Similarly, replace the <DESTINATION_DIRECTORY>/store/carbon.super/fs/gadget/my_gadget/js/outputAdapterUiLibrary.js file with <CEP_HOME>/migration/dashboards/migration-1.0.x-2.0.x/resources/outputAdapterUiLibrary.js file.
Validating path changes

CEP 4.2.0 has a different directory structure to CEP 4.1.0 that affects the path to the gadget store as shown below.

CEP 4.1.0: <CEP_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/store/<Tenant_Name>/gadget
CEP 4.2.0: <CEP_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/store/<Tenant_Name>/<StoreType [fs/es]>/gadget

Therefore, if a gadget has relative paths included in its index.xml file (i.e. in the <CEP_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/store/<Tenant_Name>/<StoreType [fs/es] >/gadget/<GADGET_NAME> path), you should check whether they are updated with the change in the directory structure. This check should be carried out after running the migration script.

e.g., A path is given as follows in the index.xml file in CEP 4.1.0.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../../../js/igviz.js"></script>

The same link should be given as follows in CEP 4.2.0 due to the change in the directory structure (i.e. an additional ../ should be added for the new directory added to the structure).

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../../../../js/igviz.js"></script>

Updating layout configurations

The dashboard layout configurations are defined in the index.xml file. This file differs as follows based on the CEP version.

CEP Version4.1.04.2.0
Location<CEP_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/store/<Tenant_Name>/layout/<LAYOUT_NAME><CEP_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/store/<Tenant_Name>/<StoreType [fs/es]>/layout/<LAYOUT_NAME>

        { "id": "f", "x": 8, "y": 3, "width": 4, "height": 3 }
    ]
}

 

The layouts migrated from CEP 4.1.0 to CEP 4.2.0 will have the format in which layouts are saved in CEP 4.1.0. To make them compatible with CEP 4.2.0

  1. Replace "size_x" and "size_y" attributes with "width" and "height" respectively.
  2. Replace "row" and "col" attributes with "x" and "y" respectively, and reduce their values by 1 to match the 0 based indexing.

e.g., { "id": "a", "row": 1, "col": 1, "size_x": 4, "size_y": 3 } should be replaced with { "id": "a", "x": 0, "y": 0, "width": 4, "height": 3 }.

Testing the upgrade

...

Verify that all the required scenarios are working as expected. This confirms that the upgrade is successful.

Localtab
titleCEP 4.0.0 to CEP 4.1.0
Note

You cannot roll back the upgrade process. However, it is possible to restore a backup of the previous database so that you can restart the upgrade progress.

Preparing to upgrade

The following prerequisites should be completed  before upgrading.

Upgrading the databases

The instructions in this section describe how you can perform a data migration to upgrade the 4.0.0 database for use in CEP 4.1.0.

  1. Before you upgrade to CEP 4.1.0, create a new database and restore the backup of the CEP 4.0.0 database in this new database.

    Info
    titleNote

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

  2. Select the relevant script for the upgrade from here and run it on the new database. Running this script will ensure that the new database is upgraded to have the additional tables and schemas that are required for CEP 4.1.0.

    Info
    titleNote

    There are three migration scripts available:  migration-service-provider.sql , migration-identity.sql and  migration.sql. However, only the  migration.sql script is required to be executed for the CEP database upgrade.

Migrating configurations

Follow the procedure below to migrate configurations from CEP 4.0.0 to CEP 4.1.0.

Note

Configurations should not be copied directly from CEP 4.0.0 to CEP 4.1.0 because the configuration files have new properties added to them as well as obsolete properties removed from them between the two releases.

  1. Check the configurations in the following files in <CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/data-bridge directory for CEP 4.0.0, and apply the same changes in CEP 4.1.0 manually.
    • data-agent-config.xml
    • data-bridge-config.xml
  2. Check the configurations in the following files in CEP 4.0.0, and apply same configurations in CEP 4.1.0 manually. 

    Configuration FileLocation
    axis2.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2
    axis2_client.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2
    carbon.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf

    registry.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf
    catalina-server.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat
    web.xml<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat
  3. If the Cipher tool was configured for CEP 4.0.0, check the configurations in the following files and apply the same changes in CEP 4.1.0 manually.

    Configuration FileLocation
    cipher-text.properties<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/security
    cipher-tool.properties<CEP_HOME>/repository/conf/security
  4. Check the configurations in the other files located in the <CEP 4.0.0_HOME>/repository/conf directory and apply the same changes to CEP 4.1.0 manually.
  5. If there are any third party libraries used with CEP 4.0.0 that you want to migrate, copy the following directories as applicable from CEP 4.0.0 to CEP 4.1.0: 
    • If you have used JMS libraries, JDBC libraries etc, copy <CEP_HOME>/repository/components/lib.
    • If you have used OSGi bundles such as SVN kit etc, copy <CEP_HOME>/repository/components/dropins.
  6. Start the CEP 4.1.0 server. For more information, see Running the Product.

Migrating artifacts

You should manually deploy Composite Application Archive (CAR) files that you have in CEP 4.0.0 to CEP 4.1.0. For more information, see Packaging Artifacts as C-App Archive .

Info
titleNote

 To migrate deployment artifacts:

  • Copy the <CEP_HOME>/repository/deployment/server directory from CEP 4.0.0 to CEP 4.1.0.
  • If multi-tenancy is used, copy the <CEP_HOME>/repository/tenants directory from CEP 4.0.0 to CEP 4.1.0.

Testing the upgrade

  1. When the database upgrade scripts are executed, the following are some of the new tables that will be created in the database:
    • UM_DOMAIN
    • UM_SYSTEM_USER
    • UM_SYSTEM_ROLE
    • UM_SYSTEM_USER_ROLE
  2. Verify that all the required scenarios are working as expected. This confirms that the upgrade is successful.

titleWSO2 CEP 4.0.0 is not backward compatible

Artifacts of CEP 4.0.0 are not backward comparable as there were major changes in the CEP architecture. Therefore, they need to be rewritten and deployed manually.

Preparing to upgrade

The following prerequisites must be completed before upgrading:

Info
titleNote

The downtime is limited to the time taken for switching databases in the production environment.

Upgrading the databases

The instructions in this section describe how you can perform a data migration to upgrade the 3.1.0 database for use in CEP 4.0.0.

Note

You cannot roll back the upgrade process. However, it is possible to restore a backup of the previous database so that you can restart the upgrade progress.

  1. Before you upgrade to CEP 4.0.0, create a new database and restore the backup of the CEP 3.1.0 database in this new database.

    Info
    titleNote

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

  2. Select the relevant script for the upgrade from here and run it on the new database. Running this script will ensure that the new database is upgraded to have the additional tables and schemas that are required for CEP 4.0.0.

    Info
    titleNote

    There are three migration scripts available:  migration-service-provider.sql , migration-identity.sql and  migration.sql. However, only the  migration.sql script is required to be executed for the CEP database upgrade.

Handling Artifacts

Artifacts cannot be directly migrated from CEP 3.1.0 to CEP 4.0.0 since the configurable objects in CEP 4.0.0 are different to that in CEP 3.1.0. Therefore, the configuration should be handled as follows.

Artifact Type in CEP 3.1.0  

Replaced in CEP 4.0.0 ByNoteRecommended Action
  • Input Event Adapter
  • Event Builder
Event Receiver

The Event Receiver artifact in CEP 4.0.0 embeds both the Input Event Adapter and Event Builder artifacts in CEP 3.1.0.

Identify the input event adapters and event builders used in combination in CEP 3.1.0, and redefine them as event receivers. For detailed instructions, see Configuring Event Receivers.

  • Event Stream
N/A 

Redefine the event streams in CEP 4.0.0. For detailed instructions, see Understanding Event Streams.

  • Output Event Adapter
  • Event Formatter
Event PublisherThe Event Publisher artifact in CEP 4.0.0 embeds both the Output Event Adapter and Event Formatter artifacts in CEP 3.1.0.

Identify the output event adapters and event formatters used in combination in CEP 3.1.0, and redefine them as event publishers. For detailed instructions, see Configuring CEP to Create Alerts.

  • Execution Plan
N/A

The Siddhi Query Language in CEP 4.0.0 is different to that in CEP 3.1.0.
Therefore, the Siddhi queries of an execution plan directly migrated from CEP 3.1.0 cannot function in CEP 4.0.0.

Redefine the execution plans in CEP 4.0.0.

For detailed instructions on defining execution plans, see Creating a Standalone Execution Plan and Creating a Storm Based Distributed Execution Plan.

For the modified Siddhi Query Language, see SiddhiQL Guide 3.1.
