FlexDeploy Schema Upgrade

Locate upgrade scripts folder in distribution zip file. For example, /database/oracle/upgrade, /database/postgres/upgrade. This folder(s) includes a number of folders containing migration.sql, which upgrade the FlexDeploy schemas.

Checks prior to running Migration SQLs

As part of FlexDeploy 5.4 upgrade, missing UK constraint was added for REL_METADATA_VALUE table. Please check that there are no duplicate rows by running following SQL prior to upgrade. If you find duplicates then contact us via support portal.

SELECT * FROM (SELECT REL_DEFINITION_ID, PIPELINE_METADATA_ID, COUNT(1) NUMROWS
FROM FD.REL_METADATA_VALUE
GROUP BY REL_DEFINITION_ID, PIPELINE_METADATA_ID)
WHERE NUMROWS>1;

If you are upgrading from version prior to FlexDeploy 5.2, run following SQL prior to running upgrade scripts and make sure no rows are returned. If there are any row returned, it is possible that migration may not work correctly, in which case contact us via support portal.

SELECT
    kd.property_key_name, k.*
FROM
    fd.property_key k,
    fd.property_key_definition kd,
    fd.property_value pv
WHERE
    k.property_definition_id = kd.property_definition_id
    AND pv.sequence_number = 0
    AND k.property_key_id = pv.property_key_id
    AND kd.is_encrypted = 'Y'
    AND k.is_encrypted = 'N'
    AND pv.property_value not in ('<NOT CONFIGURED>', '<OPTIONAL>');

FlexDeploy 5.1 migration includes updates to Unique Constraint for FF.DB_PROPERTIES_DATA. If you are upgrading from version prior to 5.1, then run following SQL before running upgrade scripts. If you have duplicates then it needs to be fixed up prior to starting migration. If there are duplicates, work with Flexagon support team to resolve prior to migration.

SELECT * FROM (SELECT DB_PROPERTIES_ID, SEQUENCE_NUMBER, COUNT(1) NUMROWS
FROM FF.DB_PROPERTIES_DATA 
GROUP BY DB_PROPERTIES_ID, SEQUENCE_NUMBER) 
WHERE NUMROWS>1;

Running Migration SQL(s)

You will need to execute one or more SQL script(s) from the version of FlexDeploy you currently have, up to the latest version. And they must be executed in that order.

There is not an upgrade script for every version. For instance there is no upgrade script for upgrading FlexDeploy 5.6.0.6 to FlexDeploy 5.7.0.0. Simply skip to the next one needed, or stop if there aren't anymore.

See some examples below to help you understand database upgrade process.

Upgrading 5.6.0.0 to 6.0.0.0

Executing migration files

Once you have decided which migration scripts to execute, you need to run them against your database using database specific tools in proper sequence.

Oracle

These scripts should be executed as system, sys, or another user which has privileges to create objects in other schemas, performs grants, etc. You can load and execute these scripts using other tools such as Toad or SQL Developer. Instructions below are for using the sqlplus client.

Oracle SQL*Plus is part of the Oracle Client, and may be executed on any host which has it installed. If the Oracle Client is not installed on the same host as where you are installing FlexDeploy, you can copy the scripts to another host which has it installed.

Make sure to spool output to a file, so it can be analyzed later if necessary.

To launch sqlplus:

If running on another host other than the database server, you must update your tnsnames file and and launch sqlplus as follows:

For example,

PostgreSQL

These scripts should be executed as postgres or another super user which has privileges to create objects in other schemas, performs grants, etc. Change the bold text as needed in your environment.

Linux

Run FlexDeploy migration scripts. Type the password when asked. PostgresDDL.txt records the output of the script so that you can refer back to it later.

Windows

Run FlexDeploy scripts. Type the password when asked. PostgresDDL.txt records the output of the script so that you can refer back to it later.
