Single host upgrades

This article provides steps for upgrading single host TeamForge Orchestrate installations to the latest release.

The following steps pertain to TeamForge Orchestrate upgrades when all services are located on a single machine. Upon successful completion, TeamForge Orchestrate will be upgraded to the latest available release.
Important: The upgrade process stops the TeamForge Orchestrate App server while upgrading. Anticipate up to 20 minutes of end-user downtime from the time services are shut down.

Download upgrade_[version].sh

  1. To gain access to the TeamForge Orchestrate upgrade script upgrade_[version].sh, contact CollabNet Support at https://www.collab.net/support/secure-customer-login
  2. Once Support has given you access, download upgrade_[version].sh from https://ctf.open.collab.net/sf/sfmain/do/viewProject/projects.sfdl

    where [version] represents the upgrade target version of Orchestrate.

Back up the TeamForge Orchestrate system

  1. Before upgrading, backup TeamForge Orchestrate system and data, see Backup and Restore

Upgrade process

  1. Log into the TeamForge Orchestrate application server (App server) with a privileged account.
  2. Copy upgrade_[version].sh to /tmp and change directories to that location.

    cp upgrade_[version].sh /tmp cd /tmp chmod 755 upgrade_[version].sh

  3. If you are using "disconnected media" to upgrade, follow the steps in Upgrading without internet access
  4. Perform the upgrade by running upgrade_[version].sh, passing the all flag.

    sudo ./upgrade_[version].sh all

    Note: The TeamForge Orchestrate web interface will be unavailable to end-users until after the upgrade process.

    Services will be restarted automatically upon completion.

  5. Verify that all services are running after upgrade_[version].sh terminates

    The upgrade script should display a list of all services with [OK] denoting a successful restart.

Install/upgrade the Collabnet TeamForge tracker adapter:

The TeamForge tracker adapter sends tracker changes to Orchestrate and may be dependent on a specific version of TeamForge. To install the tracker adapter:

  1. Download the TeamForge Tracker adapter orchestrate-tracker-adapter-[version].jar corresponding to your version of CollabNet TeamForge from the TeamForge Orchestrate Community.
  2. Log into your Collabnet TeamForge as a site admin.
  3. Navigate to Admin > System Tools > Custom Event Handlers
    Note: If Custom Event Handlers is not available on your instance of TeamForge, please see TeamForge adapters - alternative installation method.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Browse to the adapter and click Add.

Restart Orchestrate and TeamForge

Once the tracker adapter is installed, a reboot of both TeamForge and Orchestrate is necessary.

  1. Restart TeamForge

    See TeamForge documentation for details on restarting TeamForge.

  2. Restart Orchestrate

    Restart the "collabnet-nginx" service. See System Administration for details on restarting collabnet-nginx.
