Upgrade Artifactory from Open-Source (OSS) to PRO?

by scmgalaxy KArtifactoryLeave a Comment on Upgrade Artifactory from Open-Source (OSS) to PRO?

The upgrade process from OSS to PRO is the same one that is used for upgrading from any Artifactory version to the latest version;
The procedure to upgrade Artifactory depends on your installation type. There are following installation types:

  • ZIP file
  • RPM
  • Debian
  • Docker

In this tutorials, I am talking about Zip file Based installation only.

Before You Proceed, You must do following.

1. Take a Backup of System config using “System Export”
Artifactory can export and import the whole Artifactory server: configuration, security information, stored data and metadata. The format used is identical to the System Backup format. This is useful when manually running backups and for migrating and restoring a complete Artifactory instance (as an alternative to using database level backup and restore).

Please follow the instructions out here https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Importing+and+Exporting

2. Back up your database.

3. JDK Version – From version 4.0, Artifactory requires JDK 8. If your current version is v3.x, before you upgrade to Artifactory 5.x, please make sure you install JDK 8 and update your JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to your JDK 8 installation.

4. Repositories with Multiple Package Types – From version 4.0, Artifactory will only index, and work with corresponding clients for single package type repositories. If your current version is 3.x and the installation includes repositories that support multiple package types, you need to migrate them to single package type repositories.

Upgrading from version 4.x or 5.x to the latest version is a simple procedure.

Step 1 – Unzip the Artifactory distribution archive.
Step 2 – If the $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/tomcat/conf/server.xml has been modified keep it in a temporary location.
Step 3 – Backup files to a temporary location according to the conditions described below:

  • In all cases, backup $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/bin/artifactory.default
  • If Artifactory is configured to work with a database that is not Derby, backup the $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/tomcat/lib/<JDBC> driver.

Step 4 – Remove the following files and folders from your $ARTIFACTORY_HOME folder:

  • webapps/artifactory.war
  • webapps/access.war
  • tomcat
  • bin
  • misc

Step 5 – Replace the removed files and folders with the corresponding ones from the new unzipped version.

Step 6 – Any files that were stored in temporary locations should now be returned to their original location under the new installation.

Step 7 – If you installed Artifactory as a service, you now need to run the service

  • For a Linux service, browse to $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/bin and execute the following command as root: $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/bin/installService.sh [USER [GROUP]]
  • For Windows service, browse to %ARTIFACTORY_HOME%\bin. First uninstall the service by running uninstallService.bat, then reinstall the service by running installService.bat. You can now run the service through the Windows UI or as described in Running Artifactory.

Upgrade Registry Type 7.0 SP3

by scmgalaxy KGeneralLeave a Comment on Upgrade Registry Type 7.0 SP3

msiexpert created the topic: Upgrade Registry Type 7.0 SP3
Hi there,

after moving our Sharepoint and Database to another server (with changing the servername), I have the problem, that after installing 7.0 SP3 from scratch, the process “Upgrade Registry Types” in the Repository Manager is still pending no matter how often I click on “Run”
All other parts or modules of WPS are working well.

Any help is highly appreciated.

applicationPackaging replied the topic: Re: Upgrade Registry Type 7.0 SP3
Check the Altiris knowledgebase ( kb.altiris.com ) as there are some articles about repository manager issues which may help. If that does not solve your problem, then I would recommend making a call to Wise support as they have more information internally on these sorts of issues and may be able to help you solve this quickly.
I assume you have checked the sharepoint for INI files in case of any hard coded UNCs to the old server name. If you have SQL query skills then you could also check the Wise sql databases for any references to the old server.

SonarQube Upgrade, Backup and Restore Process | SonarQube Tutorial

by scmgalaxy KSonarQubeLeave a Comment on SonarQube Upgrade, Backup and Restore Process | SonarQube Tutorial

sonarqube-upgrade-backup-and-restore-process

 

SonarQube Upgrade, Backup and Restore Process

 

Today I will share the steps to upgrade from the SonarQube version 5.X to SonarQube version 6.X. We have upgrade guide which can be found http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Upgrading but its not complete guide thus I am sharing the steps as follows which can be followed for the production server as well.  As practice shared on the oficial guide that before upgrading to the next major release, you must upgrade to know LTS e.g
Example 1 : 4.2 -> 6.1, migration path is 4.2 -> 4.5.7 LTS -> 5.6 LTS -> 6.1
Example 2 : 5.1 -> 5.6, migration path is 5.1 -> 5.6

 

Upgrading across multiple versions is handled automatically. However, if in your migration path you have an LTS version, you must first migrate to this LTS and then migrate to your target version.

 

Remember that SonarQube upgrade procedure does not have a rollback procedure, so it is mandatory that you take a full backup of the system before performing the upgrade.

 

Process 1: Steps to Take a Full Backup of SonarQube Server?

Step 1 – Stop the production server
Windows
%SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/StopNTService.bat
Linux
$SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh stop
Step 2 – Backup the production database e.g mysql db
> mysqldump –opt -Q -h localhost -u username–password=’password’ databasename | gzip -9 > databasename.gz
Also, there is one tool which has been available to take the backup of database.
Step 3 – Backup the $SONAR_HOME directory
> zip -r Sonar_home.zip $SONAR_HOME
Step 4 – List of plugins installed
Be mindful that $SONAR_HOME/extensions/plugins directory where you can get the list of plugins installed.
Step 5 – List of custom coding rules installed
Be mindful that $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules directory where you can get the list of custom coding rules.
Step 6 – List of configurations used
Be mindful that $SONAR_HOME/config directory where you can get sonar.properties and wrapper.conf file which has all the current configurations and setup.
Step 7 – Re-start the production server
Windows
%SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/StartSonar.bat
Linux
$SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start
Step 8: Keep the Sonar_home.zip and databasename.gz to the safe location.

 

Process 2: SonarQube server Upgrade process.

Following are the steps to be followed to upgrade the SonarQube server.
Step 1: Stop your old SonarQube Server.
Step 2: Install/Configure a most latest version of SonarQube 
Install/Configure a most latest version of SonarQube Server in another location. The instructions is shared here (https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Installing+the+Server)
Step 3: Install the your required plugins/extensions compatible with your version of SonarQube. The Instructions is shared here.(https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Installing+a+Plugin)
Step 4: Update the contents of sonar.properties and wrapper.conf files (in NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME/conf) with the settings of the related files in the OLD_SONARQUBE_HOME/conf directory (web server URL, database, ldap settings, etc.). Do not copy-paste the old files.
If you are using the Oracle DB, copy its JDBC driver into NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/jdbc-driver/oracle
Step 5: Start your new SonarQube Server
Windows
%SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/StartSonar.bat
Linux
$SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start
Step 7: Verify the SonarQube Upgrade.

 

Note – SonarQube as a Linux or Windows Service
If you use external configuration, such as a script or Windows Service to control your server, you’ll need to update it to point to NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME.
In case you used the InstallNTService.bat to install SonarQube as a Windows Service, run the OLD_SONARQUBE_HOME/bin/…/UninstallNTService.bat before running the InstallNTService.bat of the NEW_SONARQUBE_HOME.
If you install SonarQube with Sql Server, it is better to chose Latin1_General_CS_AS as collation to avoid problems.

 

Some Well known Troubleshooting after upgrades.
Issues – Sonarqube upgrade 5.6 to 6.1, test coverage measue is missing
Solution – You might be missing the sonar.java.binaries. Sonar-5.6 did not need those.
Issues – Some unknown issues
Solution – Whenever you have problem with SonarQube do not forget to read the log, because only in the log you can understand the real cause of errors.

Sonar team released Sonar Maven Plugin 1.0-beta-2

by scmgalaxy KRelease, News & UpdatesLeave a Comment on Sonar team released Sonar Maven Plugin 1.0-beta-2

sonar-maven-plugin

The Sonar team is pleased to announce the release of Sonar Maven Plugin, version 1.0-beta-2.

It makes configuration easier when using a repository manager like Archiva or Nexus. Indeed no additional settings are required anymore ! Let’s remind that the version 1.0-beta-1 needs to declare a mirror in maven settings or to add a new repository to the manager.
This improvement requires Sonar 2.2+. It is automatically disabled when using sonar 2.1 or less. Upgrading to this version should be automatic if the shortcut “mvn sonar:sonar” or the hudson plugin are used.
