1. the internal storage
2. your 1.1.X project's (the one created from archetype) sources
3. configured bundles and logs directories
4. Save Notification "about" and "recipients", upgrade sets default values for these fileds due to radical change to Notification object from 1.1.X to 1.2.X.

The new 1.2.X project

1. create a new 1.2.X project
2. copy any existing Java class you have developed for the former 1.1.X project and make necessary adaptations
3. include any connector bundle you might have added in the former 1.1.X project
4. configure the internal storage as done for the former 1.1.X project

...

An example of such changes is reported in the attached sample for MySQL and PostgreSQL (this file is also present included in resources of core-upgrader module of the project): the set of SQL statements you need to run vary depending on the DBMS used for internal storage. During manual SQL upgrade you may see some exceptions (given by DBMS) about deletion of not-existing indexes or views, these aren't blocking exceptions; you only need to be sure to delete all indexes and views, in some cases you may need to change a little bit given SQL samples. 

Due to some DBMS permission and table access policies, it's recommended to execute SQL scripts as the user who accesses syncope database, indicated in syncope data source defined in container configuration.

Change content.xml leaving only new Entitlements

This procedure is highly recommended if using PostgreSQL database, but it's good practice to use it for all DBMS.

Change new 1.2.X project content file, located under core/src/main/resources/content.xml: you have to edit Entitlements section only, comment out (or delete) old entitlements (the ones already present in 1.1.X) leaving only new Entitlements introduced with 1.2.X version. Other "old" Entitlements are already stored on database.

Below there is the list of Entitlements introduced with 1.2.X version:

• SCHEMA_LIST
• ROLE_LIST
• RESOURCE_LIST
• CONFIGURATION_EXPORT
• CONFIGURATION_SET
• SECURITY_QUESTION_LIST
• SECURITY_QUESTION_READ
• SECURITY_QUESTION_CREATE
• SECURITY_QUESTION_UPDATE
• SECURITY_QUESTION_DELETE

Enable ContentUpgrader

• In coreIn core/src/main/resources/persistenceContextcoreContext.xml add xml add (at the end of file) before </beans>:
  
  

  Code Block
  language xml
  <import resource="classpath*:upgradeContext.xml"/>

• In core/pom.xml add following dependency from core-upgrader module:

  Code Block
  language xml
  <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.syncope</groupId> <artifactId>core<artifactId>syncope-core-upgrader</artifactId> <version>${projectsyncope.version}</version> </dependency>

• In core/src/main/resources/log4j2.xml add following lines:

  Code Block
  language xml
  <appenders> ... ... <RollingRandomAccessFile name="upgrader" fileName="${log.directory}/core-upgrader.log" filePattern="${log.directory}/core-upgrader-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz" immediateFlush="false" append="true"> <PatternLayout> <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level %logger - %msg%n</pattern> </PatternLayout> <Policies> <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy/> <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="250 MB"/> </Policies> </RollingRandomAccessFile> ... ... </appenders> <loggers> ... ... <asyncLogger name="org.apache.syncope.upgrader" additivity="false" level="INFO"> <appender-ref ref="upgrader"/> </asyncLogger> ... ... </loggers>

Build, deploy and run

Build project, deploy to choosen container and run it. The first run should log exceptions about ContentInitializer (in particular about creation of resources, connectors, etc), but this is normal.

Stop the JEE container and follow steps below.

Disable ContentUpgrader

In core/src/main/resources/persistenceContext.xml remove last import:
