Upgrade Instructions
To upgrade Infoworks on Kubernetes:
It is assumed that the existing chart is placed in the /opt/infoworks directory and the user has the access permission.
Before selecting the type of upgrade execute the following commands.
Step 1: Create the required directories and change the path to that directory.
Internet-free Upgrade
NOTE If you are upgrading via Internet-based procedure, skip to the next section.
Step 1: Download the upgrade tar files shared by the Infoworks team to the Bastion (Jump host) VM and place it under $IW_HOME/downloads.

Step 2: To configure Internet-free upgrade, execute the following command:
Internet-based Upgrade
Step 1: Download the Update script tar file.
Common Steps for Both Internet-free and Internet-based
NOTE Once you have selected the type of upgrade, the below mentioned steps are common for both Internet-free and Internet-based.
Step 1: Extract the iwx_updater_k8s_5.5.0.1.tar.gz under $IW_HOME/downloads.
Do not extract the tar file to /opt/infoworks/iw-k8s-installer as it would result in loss of data.
This should create two new files as follows - update-k8s.sh and configure.sh.
Step 2: Run the script.
NOTE At the end of the above command's execution, if you want to run helm upgrade manually, then type N and press Enter. There is a 30-second timeout set to abandon the deployment of the upgraded version. If no input is received within the timeout duration, the deployment is triggered.
Step 3: To modify any of the configurations listed below, follow the steps:
Email configurations: smtpHost, smtpPort, smtpUsername, smtpPassword
Timeout for DT
Timeout for ingestion
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size
Step 3A: Navigate to the directory IW_HOME/iw-k8s-installer. And Edit the values.yaml file
Name | Description | Default Values | |
|---|---|---|---|
Email configuration | smtpHost | The SMTP host URL to connect to | smtp.gmail.com |
smtpPort | SMTP port | 587 | |
smtpUsername | The SMTP User to authenticate as | email address | |
smtpPassword | The Password for the SMTP user | Encrypted password | |
DT | timeoutSeconds | Timeout for DT | 7200 |
Ingestion | timeoutSeconds | Timeout for Ingestion | 7200 |
nginx.ingress | kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size | Nginx proxy body size | 10m |
NOTE
Email configurations can be found under customiwConfigs section in values.yaml
Timeouts for DT and ingestion can be found under databricks section in values.yaml
kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size can be found in nginx.ingress section in values.yaml
Step 3B : After editing the annotations, the values.yaml file should look as shown below:


Update the values and save the file.
Step 3C : Navigate to the directory IW_HOME/iw-k8s-installer. And Run the iw_deploy script
NOTE During the above command's execution, when it prompts if we need to override, type y and press Enter.
Step 3D: Restart all the deployments
Rollback
Prerequisites
Before executing the rollback script, ensure that IW_HOME variable is set.
Assuming Infoworks home directory is /opt/infoworks, run the below command to set the IW_HOME variable.
Validate that the version of the old chart is 5.5.0.1.
Ensure the current deployment’s chart is present in /opt/infoworks.
Execute the below command to check the appVersion.

Rollback Instructions
NOTE Since IW_HOME has been exported in the Prerequisites section mentioned above, the following steps can be executed from any location for users with read/write access to the aforementioned IW_HOME.
Step 1: Download the rollback script.
Step 2: Place the Update script in the same directory as that of the existing iw-k8s-installer.
Step 3: Ensure you have permission to the $IW_HOME directory.
Step 4: Give executable permission to the rollback script using the below command.
Step 5: Run the script.
Step 6: You will receive the following prompt, "Enter N to skip running the above command to upgrade the helm deployment. (timeout: 30 seconds): ", type Y and press Enter.
NOTE If you want to run helm upgrade manually, then type N and press Enter.
NOTE There is a 30-second timeout set to abandon the deployment of the downgraded version. If no input is received within the timeout duration, the deployment is triggered.
