$inline[badge,NOTE,primary] The "*" symbol next to ID refers to the issues that have been resolved in the current release.
Upgrade
Assuming IW_HOME variable is set to /opt/infoworks
Prerequisite
To support rollback after metadata migration, you need to take backup of metadata. Following are the steps:
Step 1: Install/Download MongoDB tool: mongodump. (if needed).
Step 2: Create a directory to store the database backup dump using the below command.
Step 3: Use the below command to take a dump (backup) of the databases from the mongodb server.
If MongoDB is hosted on Atlas
If MongoDB is installed with Infoworks on the same VM
Procedure
For upgrading from 5.4.1/5.4.1.x to 5.4.1.4, execute the following commands:
Step 1: Use the deployer to upgrade from 5.4.1 to 5.4.1.4.
Step 2: Goto iw_home/scripts folder of the test machine.
Step 3: To ensure that there is no pre-existing update script, execute the following command:
[[ -f update_5.4.1.4.sh ]] && rm update_5.4.1.4.sh
Step 4: Download the update_5.4.1.4.sh
wget https://iw-saas-setup.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/5.4/update_5.4.1.4.sh
Step 5: Give update.sh executable permission
chmod +x update_5.4.1.4.sh
Step 6 (Optional): This patch requires Mongo Metadata to be migrated. To export the environment variable, run export METADB_MIGRATION=Y. This ensures that the metadata will be migrated, else run export METADB_MIGRATION=N.
Alternatively, you can enter it in the prompt while running the script.
Step 7: Update the package to the hotfix source iw_home/bin/env.sh
./update_5.4.1.4.sh -v 5.4.1.4-ubuntu2004
You will receive a "Please select whether metadb migration needs to be done([Y]/N)" message. If you need to perform metadb migration, enter Y, else, enter N.
Rollback
Prerequisite
To rollback the migrated metadata:
Step 1: Install/Download MongoDB tool: mongorestore. (if needed)
Step 2: Switch to the directory where the backup is saved on the local system.
Step 3: Use the below command to restore the dump (backup) of the databases to the Mongodb Server.
If MongoDB is hosted on Atlas
If MongoDB is installed with Infoworks on the same VM
Procedure
To go back to previous checkpoint version:
Step 1: In a web browser, go to your Infoworks system, scroll-down to the bottom, and click the Infoworks icon.
Step 2: The Infoworks Manifest Information page opens in a new tab. Scroll down and check the Last Checkpoint Version.
Step 3: ssh to Infoworks VM and switch to {{IW_USER}}.
Step 4: Initialize the variables in the bash shell.
full_version=5.4.1.4
major_version=$(echo $full_version | cut -d "." -f 1-2)
previous_version=<Previous Version> # Last Checkpoint Version from step 1
os_suffix=<OS Suffix> # One of [ ubuntu2004 amazonlinux2 rhel8 ]
Step 5: Download the required deployer for the current applied patch.
https://iw-saas-setup.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/${major_version}/deploy_${full_version}.tar.gz
Step 6: Execute the SCP command for the above mentioned files to the following path.
$inline[badge,NOTE,primary] Remove the previously downloaded copy of deploy_${full_version}.tar.gz file in ${IW_HOME}/scripts/ directory.
${IW_HOME}/scripts/.
Step 7: Extract the deployed tar file in case it does not exist.
cd ${IW_HOME}/scripts
[[ -d iw-installer ]] && rm -rf iw-installer
tar xzf deploy_${full_version}.tar.gz
cd iw-installer
Step 8: Initialize the environment variables.
source ${IW_HOME}/bin/env.sh
export IW_PLATFORM=saas
Step 9: Run the Rollback command.
./rollback.sh -v ${previous_version}-${os_suffix}
