Upgrade Tomcat Manually from 5.0.x to 7.0.x

This section provides you the steps to upgrade Kony MobileFabric Integration Service manually from 5.0.x to 7.0.x on Tomcat single node setup due to architectural changes in 7.0.x.

Note: Before performing the upgrade, stop the Tomcat server 5.0.x GA.

How to Upgrade Integration Service

Migrating Reports Database

Important: If you do not have reports configured, ignore the below process.

If you have reports configured, download and run the upgrade scripts to upgrade the database and enable legacy reports in the 7.0 reports portal.

For example: If your database version is 5.0.4 SQL Server, run the schemas in Upgrade Scripts (SQLServer_5.0.4_or_5.0.5_to_5.0.6) folder.

Setup of 7.0 Server

To setup the 7.0 server, follow these steps:

  1. Setup of 7.0 server either manually or through installer.
    1. Installer: Download and run the appropriate installer from http:community.kony.com/downloads/.
    2. Manual: Follow the instructions in the MobileFabric Manual Installation guide.

    Note: If the set up is done through installer follow the below steps. Else, go to step 4.

  2. When the set up is completed , copy the following entries from the new middleware.properties file available in the new setup to the middleware.properties file available in old setup.
    metrics.securityPrincipalName=XXXXXX
    metrics.securityCredentials=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
    metrics.userName=XXXX
    metrics.password=XXXX
  3. Delete the middleware.properties file from the new setup and copy the middleware.properties (modified one) (from the old setup) to new setup.

Verification

Verify the upgrade process by logging into the console and look for Server Version and Health Check.

To verify the upgrade process, follow these steps:

  1. To verify the set up, access the URL http://hostname:port/admin/version.html and look for server version.
  2. Navigate to Settings and click Health Check and look for Report DB and Admin DB. Note that the status should be in PASSED state.
  3. If the health check is passed, proceed with the next step.

Upgrading Studio App and Services to 7.0

To upgrade the studio app and services, follow these steps:

  1. To upgrade the Studio app and services to 7.0, refer to Migrate a Project from an Earlier Version of Kony Studio or Visualizer.
  2. After the successful upgrade to publish the app and services, refer to Building and Viewing an Application.

Enabling Forward Request Feature

 If you have native apps connected to the existing server, to accept the requests from the old native apps, enable the forward request feature in the new setup. 

 To enable the forward request feature, follow these steps:

  1. If studio services are exported to MF services successfully then the <appId>_MWMappings.properties file gets generated in <IDE_workspace>/<ProjectName>.

  2. Create a new folder named migration in <NewSetUpLocation>/middleware_home/middleware/middleware-bootconfig/. Place the <appId>_MWMappings.properties file under migration folder.
  3. Restart the Tomcat server.
  4.
