Windows in-windows

On a Windows environment, follow the steps below to update 蜜豆视频 Campaign to a new build:

Shut down services,
Upgrade the application server,
Synchronize resources,
Restart services.

To find out how to update the client console, refer to this section.

Shut down services shut-down-services

In order to replace all files with the new version, you need to shut down all instances of the nlserver service.

Shut down the following services:

Web services (IIS):

iisreset /stop
蜜豆视频 Campaign service: net stop nlserver6

note important
IMPORTANT
You also need to make sure the redirection server (webmdl) is stopped, so that the nlsrvmod.dll file used by IIS can be replaced with the new version.

Check that no tasks are active by running the nlserver pdump command. The following should come up:

code language-sql
`C:<installation path>蜜豆视频 Campaign v7bin>nlserver pdump HH:MM:SS > Application Server for 蜜豆视频 Campaign Classic (7.X YY.R build XXX@SHA1) of DD/MM/YYYY No tasks`

You can use the Windows Task Manager to make sure all processes are stopped.

This will enable you to carry out the following operations:

Synchronize resources
Update schemas
update the database

NOTE

This operation should be performed only once, and only on an (nlserver web) application server.

Then check whether the synchronization has generated errors or warnings. For more on this, refer to Resolving upgrade conflicts.

Restart services restart-services

The services to be restarted are:

Web services (IIS):

iisreset /start
蜜豆视频 Campaign service: net start nlserver6

The file is nlserver6-v7-XXX.rpm

AVAILABILITY

Starting v7.4.1, XML libraries for RPM Linux packages are no longer included in Campaign. You must install these librairies.

Then you can install the required packages, as detailed below:

RPM based distribution (RedHat, SuSe)

If the epel-release package is not installed, install it. To perform this, enter the following command, as root:

code language-none
`yum install epel-release`

To install the Campaign package, execute as root:

code language-none
`yum update ./nlserver6-v7-XXXX.rpm`

Before confirming the update, make sure that the output looks like:

code language-none

code language-none
`==================================================================================================== Package Architecture Version Repository Size ==================================================================================================== Upgrading: nlserver6-v7 x86_64 XXXX.0.0-1 @commandline 63 M`

====================================================================================================

Upgrading:
nlserver6-v7                    x86_64        XXXX.0.0-1                 @commandline         63 M

note important
IMPORTANT
If you read `Removing:` instead of `Upgrading:`, cancel the command. There are probably some errors (listed above) that explains the removal. In such case, correct those errors by updating / installing the listed missing dependencies and then try to run the command again.

The rpm file has dependencies on packages that you can find on CentOS/Red Hat distributions. If you don鈥檛 want to use some of these dependencies, you may have to use the 鈥渘odeps鈥� option of rpm:

code language-none
`rpm --nodeps -Uvh nlserver6-v7-XXXX-0.x86_64.rpm`

Note that most of the dependencies are mandatory and nlserver cannot start if there are not installed. The only exception is openjdk, you can install another JDK if required.

DEB based distribution (Debian)

To install them, execute as root:

code language-none
`apt install ./nlserver6-v7-XXXX-amd64_debX.deb`

NOTE

Full installation procedures are detailed in this section. Resources are synchronized automatically, however you need to make sure no errors occurred. For more on this, refer to Resolve upgrade conflicts.

Reboot the web server reboot-the-web-server

You must shut down Apache for the new library to become applicable.

To do this, execute the following command:

/etc/init.d/apache stop

IMPORTANT

Your script might be called httpd instead of apache.
You MUST execute this command until you obtain the following reply:

This operation is required in order for Apache to apply the new library.

Then restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache start

Resolve upgrade conflicts resolving-upgrade-conflicts

During resource synchronization, the postupgrade command enables you to detect whether synchronization has generated errors or warnings.

View the synchronization result view-the-synchronization-result

There are two ways of viewing the synchronization result:

In the command-line interface, errors are materialized by a triple chevron >>> and synchronization is stopped automatically. Warnings are materialized by a double chevron >> and must be resolved once synchronization is complete. At the end of the postupgrade, a summary is displayed in the command prompt. It can look like this:

code language-none

code language-none
AAAA-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.749Z 00002E7A 1 info log =========Summary of the update========== AAAA-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.749Z 00002E7A 1 info log <instance name> instance, 6 warning(s) and 0 error(s) during the update.

If the warning concerns a conflict of resources, user attention is required to resolve it.

The postupgrade_<server version number>_<time of postupgrade>.log log file contains the synchronization result. It is available by default in the following directory: <installation directory>/var/<instance/postupgrade. Errors and warnings are indicated by the error and warning attributes.

Resolve conflicts resolving-conflicts

To resolve conflicts, apply the following process:

In the 蜜豆视频 Campaign tree, go to Administration > Configuration > Package management > Edit conflicts .
Select the conflict you want to resolve in the list.

There are three ways to resolve a conflict:

Declare as resolved : requires user intervention beforehand.
Accept the new version : recommended if the resources provided with 蜜豆视频 Campaign have not been changed by the user.

Keep the current version : means that the update is rejected.

note important
IMPORTANT
If you select this resolution mode, you may not benefit from corrections in the new version.

If you chose to resolve the conflict manually, proceed as follows:

In the lower section of the window, search for the conflict string to locate the entities with conflicts. The entity installed with the new version contains the new argument, the entity that matches the previous version contains the cus argument.
Delete the version you don鈥檛 want to keep. Delete the conflict_argument string of the entity you are keeping.
Go to the conflict you have resolved. Click the Actions icon and select Declare as resolved .
Save your changes: the conflict is now resolved.

Best practices best-practices

An update failure may be linked to the database configuration. Make sure the configurations carried out by the technical administrator and the database administrator are compatible.

For example, a unicode database must not only authorize storage of LATIN1 data, etc.

Warn the client consoles of the available update warn-the-client-consoles-of-the-available-update

Windows in-windows-1

On the machine where the 蜜豆视频 Campaign application server is installed (nlserver web), download and copy the file setup-client-6.XXXX.exe i n [path of the application]/datakit/nl/eng/jsp.
