Important upgrade preparations for users currently on 5.1.0 (These preparations and post upgrade should not be included in the published material. Verify with customers directly instead. Left here for the time being.)

Verify administrator level ‘role administrator’ is not used

The console administration level ‘role administrator’ has been removed in version 5.2.0. Therefore, you must verify that none of you role accounts are assigned the console administration level Role administrator when you upgrade.

Steps

1. Sign in to the Lequinox console. 
2. Click Internal in the top navigation bar, and select Role accounts.
3. Verify that no role accounts are assigned the administration level Role administrator.
4. If any accounts are, assign them another console administration level that suits their role in the organisation.

Rename internal roles

In Lequinox console 5.2.0, you will find system roles implemented under new names under your organisation settings. In relation to this, you must make sure that you do not have any internal non-system roles called ‘Platform manager’ or ‘Organisation manager’ when you perform an upgrade. If you do, make sure to change their names to something else before you upgrade.

Steps

5. Go to the instructions to Edit an internal role.
6. Change any ‘Platform manager’ or ‘Organisation manager’ role names to something else.

Verify added applications are not connected to system items

We have increased restrictions on what can and cannot be done with system items. If you have any added applications that are connected to a system server account or a system user group, you must make some changes before you upgrade.

Upgrade to Lequinox platform 5.2.0

Steps

1. Copy and extract the release package to the target machine.

2. Update the deployment profile that you backed up during your previous install:

   1. Locate the deployment profile backup from your previous installation.

   2. Copy the contents of your backed up deployment/profiles directory to the newly extracted deployment/profiles/ directory on the target machine for your 5.2.0 install.

...

1. 1. For your version upgrade

...

1. 1. , apply any deployment profile changes

...

1. 1.  to the files you just copied from your backup to the deployment/profiles directory.

      Note
      If you did not back up your deployment profile when you did your previous installation, or if you cannot locate it, you need to go through all the .properties files in your deployment profile directory and set all the UNCONFIGURED values. You also need to change any other default settings where you prefer a different setup or if your environment requires additional adjustments.

2. Go to the extracted release folder.

3. Stop any running WildFly instance:

   Code Block
   language xml
   > python deployment/stop_jboss.py -p <profile>

...

If you are upgrading from version 4.1.0 or earlier, you need to manually remove datasource from standalone.xml in WildFly. The following content shall be removed: Verify with team that this entire step can be removed in 5.2.0, since no one is upgrading from 4.1.0 or earlier.

...

...

2. Remove any previous deployed artifacts, .war- and .ear files, from the WildFly deployment directory <WILDFLY_HOME>/standalone/deployments/.

3. Generate a new configuration file (config.properties):

   Code Block
   language xml
   > python deployment/generate_configuration.py -p <profile> -d lequinox -f </path/to/config_directory>/config.properties

4. Run the pre-deploy upgrade script:

   Code Block
   language xml
   > python deployment/upgrade_pre_deploy_config_all.py -p <profile> -d lequinox

5. Start the WildFly server and wait until all services are started. (If changed since last upgrade: point out your configuration file "-Dconfig.path=<path/to/config_directory>"): 

   Code Block
   language xml
   > python deployment/start_jboss.py -p <profile>

6. Configure WildFly (the script adds datasources, enables HTTPS etc.):

   Code Block
   language xml
   > python deployment/jboss_config_all.py -p <profile> -d lequinox

   See jboss_config_all.py for limitations.

7. Deploy new artifacts from current release directory:

   Code Block
   language xml
   > python deployment/deploy_all.py -p <profile> -d lequinox -a .

8. Run post deploy upgrade script:

   Code Block
   language xml
   > python deployment/upgrade_post_deploy_config_all.py -p <profile> -d lequinox

9. Check the status of running services on "https://<FQDN>:<PORT>/status".

10. The upgrade of the Lequinox platform is complete.

11. Revisit the recommendations regarding backup and security, there might be new information since your first installation

Post upgrade tasks for users previously on 5.1.0

In our continuous work to improve your user experience, we are currently phasing out Lequinox professional ID for platform interaction. Hence, we strongly recommend that for each ‘Professional ID-based’ role account in your organisation, you create a new role account so that they can sign in with name and password instead of Lequinox professional ID.

Steps

1. Go through your users one by one, and note their registered names and email addresses.
2. Add a new role account for each user. 
3. Verify that they act on the invitation email and activate their new account.

...

If a user loses access, you can always re-invite them.
