Hi,
can somebody actually participate clear instructions how to upgrade to
GeoNetwork version 3.0.0?
If at the moment the version used is 2.10.4, ran with tomcat7, deployed by
geonetwork.war in //var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ - How do I achieve the
migration as François has proposed?
To be clear, what do I do with the geonetwork 2.10.4 folder
//var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geonetwork/ and how do I add the latest 3.0.0?
Should I delete the old one? And if yes, should I simply store a copy of the
database folder? How do I reintegrate the database after redeployment?
dropping the index
doesn't mean nothing to me. So, here, again, voilà - how the heck do I drop
the index?
Can I deploy a new version simultaneously with a previous version, for
example by changing the name of the /geonetwork.war/ to /geonetwork3.war/,
restart tomcat and run both version at the same time, one in
//var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geonetwork/ and the new one in
//var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geonetwork3/ ? How do I migrate the database in
this case?
And this, for example is also unclear:
Francois Prunayre wrote
Once the db configured, the application should migrate the 2.10.4 db to a
3.0.0 version on startup.
How can I "pre-configure" the database if I haven't yet deployed a new
version? Migrate from which location to which location? Where is that
defined? At the moment when the 3.0.0 starts up - how it is related to
2.10.4, how/where is that configured?
I know these might be ridiculous questions for all those advanced in
development, but for many of users there is no consistent step-by-step
online resource available. Most of the help is related to old versions (eg:
< 2.6.x) and therefore all is mixed up. And the posts which actually apply
to later versions (> 2.10.3) are very partial and incomplete, understood
amongst a few administrators whose job is anyway to maintain a catalogue -
meaning that's their principal daily activity.
Here, another very useful resource to update and adapt for the new version:
https://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/HowToRunMultipleGeonetworkInstancesUnderTomcat
Running two instances could be an advantage as explained on the link
provided. Making a fresh set of clean instructions how to do that would
simplify the process for many users.
I hope this post won't stay unanswered. I know there is a completely new
help documentation on the way, but I guess there are some procedures which
should be on the priority list. Thanks for any kind of feedback.
