Upgrading from Version 10 to Version 11
Overview
The structure of the operating database has changed in Fusion Metadata Registry (FMR) version 11 making it incompatible with version 10. An existing FMR 10 installation cannot be directly upgraded to version 11, and a version 11 database cannot be used with version 10 of FMR.
If you attempt to start an FMR instance using a version 10 database it will fail to start. We recommend using an empty database and loading structures into it. To upgrade from 10 to 11 please follow the steps below.
If you wish to preserve structures and settings from a version 10 database please see the section below titled: XXXX
Backing Up an Existing Fusion Registry
To create a file containing all of the structural metadata within your Registry, please perform the following:
- In your current version 10.X Fusion Registry, navigate to the Export Structures / Bulk Actions page.
- Click on the green "Download all structures" button
- In the modal that appears ensure that the format is specied as Fusion-JSON. You may choose to download as a Zip file so that the generated film is smaller in size.
- Download the structures and store them safely as these will be used to upload in your Fusion Registry version 11
You may now stop the Apache Tomcat running this Registry.
