Migrating from 6.2.5 to 6.3

There's a problem when you update a table adding a new column with a "not null" constraint, if the table already has some rows. With MySQL and PostgreSQL can be solved connecting directly to your database. With HSQL - which is an embeded database - we suggest going to OpenKM go to Administration > Database Query and execute the database update.

• Make a backup!!!

• Stop Tomcat

• Edit OpenKM.cfg and set hibernate.hbm2ddl to update

• Replace the OpenKM.war

• Go to Administration > Crontab and delete "User Items Serialize" and "Refresh User Items" tasks.

• Run from your preferred SQL client these queries:

MySQL

ALTER TABLE OKM_MIME_TYPE ADD COLUMN MT_SEARCH char(1);
UPDATE OKM_MIME_TYPE SET MT_SEARCH='T';
ALTER TABLE OKM_MIME_TYPE MODIFY COLUMN MT_SEARCH char(1) NOT NULL;

PostgreSQL

ALTER TABLE OKM_MIME_TYPE ADD COLUMN MT_SEARCH char(1);
UPDATE OKM_MIME_TYPE SET MT_SEARCH='T';
ALTER TABLE OKM_MIME_TYPE ALTER COLUMN MT_SEARCH SET NOT NULL;

• Start Tomcat again

• Go to Administration > Database Query, and execute:

HSQL

ALTER TABLE OKM_MIME_TYPE ADD COLUMN MT_SEARCH char(1);
UPDATE OKM_MIME_TYPE SET MT_SEARCH='T';
ALTER TABLE OKM_MIME_TYPE ALTER COLUMN MT_SEARCH SET NOT NULL;

• The ExecuteScription action SQL insert has changed between version 6.2.x to 6.X please take a look at Enable automation see how column with older value textarea now must have value code.

• Enjoy OpenKM 6.3.0!

If you have any weird problem try to stop Tomcat, delete these folders:

• $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/OpenKM
• $TOMCAT_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost

And start Tomcat again.
