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 Metadata 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.

Starting the Version 11 Fusion Metadata Registry

If you attempt to start FMR against a version 10 database, the Registry will detect this and will halt the startup process. It is highly recommended to use an empty database.

To start FMR version 11

  • Deploy the war file into your existing Java WebServer (e.g. Apache Tomcat).
  • Start the Java Web Server and wait for the FMR to fully deploy
  • Using your browser navigate to the front page of FMR.
  • Step 1 of the install wizard will be shown. Supply the details of your new database.
  • On Step 2 of the install wizard set the server location and the root account.
  • Finish the install wizard.

You will now have a running FMR (although with no content) that has an associated database for persistance of your structures and settings
