Linux Server Upgrade from ifix5 to ifix7a (2.0.0.2)

Mike,

I can only share the tool internally. It has no IP clearance yet. But it essentially backs up a tomcat/derby based install of jazz tools. For RTC 2.x it backs up and restores

RTC

files <InstallDir>/server/conf/jazz/teamserver.properties;<InstallDir>/server/conf/jazz/friends.rdf;<InstallDir>/server/conf/jazz/log4j.properties;

folders <InstallDir>/server/repositoryDB/;<InstallDir>/server/workitemindex/;<InstallDir>/server/jfs-textindex/;<InstallDir>/server/jfs-texthistory/;<InstallDir>/server/jfs-rdfindex/;<InstallDir>/server/jfs-rdfhistory/

Tomcat

<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml;<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

If you use LDAP or changed other files in addition you would need to do these changes again. For LDAP for example it is the <InstallDir>/server/tomcat/webapps/jazz/WEB-INF/web.xml file, I think.

I added this:

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/tomcat/conf

but that didn't help. We aren't using LDAP.

There are no logs in the log folder.

Surely there must be someone at IBM who can look at my install batch and see what's wrong or missing?

To get direct help with a particular problem, you will want to contact
Rational Support. There's only so much that can be done via discussion
on a forum.

Cheers,
Geoff

I can now login but not connect to the repository. I get the error:

"Repository services are not available on the server."

My current install script:

#!/bin/bash

echo "SHUTTING DOWN SERVER"

server/server.shutdown

sleep 5

echo "REMOVING OLD RTC FILES"

rm -r /opt/app/jazz/server

rm -r /opt/app/jazz/repotools

sleep 5

echo "COPYING NEW RTC FILES"

cp -rpf /opt/app/jazz/install/rtc7azip/* /opt/app/jazz

sleep 5

echo "RESTORING OLD CONFIG FILES"

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/conf

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/repositoryDB

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/workitemindex

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/server.*

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/jfs*

sleep 5

echo "STARTING SERVER"

server/server.startup

You have been far more helpful than Rational Support. Thanks. I feel like we're almost there...

Got it working! Yippeeeee! The missing component was the verifier-update-site folder. I have no idea what it is, but once I could login I could check the log file and there were errors in relation to items in that folder.

Final install script:

#!/bin/bash

echo "SHUTTING DOWN SERVER"

server/server.shutdown

sleep 5

echo "REMOVING OLD RTC FILES"

rm -r /opt/app/jazz/server

rm -r /opt/app/jazz/repotools

sleep 5

echo "COPYING NEW RTC FILES"

cp -rpf /opt/app/jazz/install/rtc7azip/* /opt/app/jazz

sleep 5

echo "RESTORING OLD CONFIG FILES"

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/conf

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/repositoryDB

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/workitemindex

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/server.*

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/jfs*

tar --overwrite --same-owner -xpf backup/backup-2011-10-31.tar server/verifier-update-site
