Upgrade to TeamForge 8.0 - GIT on a separate server

In this procedure, we'll assume that you are upgrading on the same server where your existing TeamForge site is running on 7.2. It is possible to simultaneously upgrade and move your site to a new hardware. However, since we are working with a dedicated installation, the priority here is to keep things as simple and quick as possible.

Do the following on the application server - my.app.host

1. Stop the Apache server and the TeamForge application server.
   • /etc/init.d/httpd stop
   • /etc/init.d/collabnet stop
2. Migrate your PostgreSQL to the latest version supported by TeamForge 8.0.
   Important: You must have RHEL/CentOS 6.5 or later to run PGTurant. Upgrade the operating system packages (yum upgrade) before running PGTurant on sites running on RHEL/CentOS versions 6.4 or earlier.
   1. Install PGTurant. See Upgrade PostgreSQL using PGTurant for more information.
      Important: If your TeamForge site has no internet access, contact the CollabNet Support, get the pgturant-8.0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm package and unpack the RPM.

      • rpm -ivh pgturant-8.0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm
      • yum install pgturant -y
   2. Upgrade TeamForge PostgreSQL data directory to PostgreSQL 9.3.
      • cd /opt/collabnet/pgturant/bin/
      • ./pgturant -s /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data -d /var/lib/pgsql/9.3 -u 9.3 -m
3. Start the PostgreSQL service, run the analyze_new_cluster.sh script and stop PostgreSQL.
   • /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.3 start
   • su - postgres -c "/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/analyze_new_cluster.sh"
   • /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.3 stop
4. Click here only if your reporting database is running on a separate port.
5. Back up the file system data.
   Tip: /tmp/backup_dir is just an example. You can use any directory or partition you prefer to store your backup files.
   1. Make an archive file with the following data directories:

      Directory	Contents
      /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var	User-created data, such as artifact attachments
      /svnroot	Subversion source code repositories
      /sf-svnroot	Subversion repository for branding data
      /cvsroot	CVS source code repositories (not present on all sites)

      • cp -Rpfv /svnroot /sf-svnroot /cvsroot /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var /tmp/backup_dir
   2. Back up your SSH keys, if any.
   3. Back up your SSL certificates and keys, if any.

6. Move the collabnet repository of the older version of TeamForge.
   • mv /etc/yum.repos.d/collabnet-7.2.0.x.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/collabnet-7.2.0.x.repo.cn_backup
   Note: Replace "x" with the appropriate patch release number if applicable.
7. Upgrade the operating system packages.
   • yum upgrade
8. If the TeamForge server has SELinux enabled, disable it temporarily while installing or upgrading TeamForge.
   1. Verify if SELinux is running in enforcing mode.
      • getenforce
   2. If the output of the getenforce command is either "Disabled" or "Permissive", SELinux is already disabled.
   3. If not, run the following command to disable SELinux.
      • setenforce 0
   See Set up SELinux to have TeamForge run in SELinux mode after completing the installation or upgrade.
9. Configure your TeamForge 8.0 installation repository. See TeamForge installation repository configuration for Red Hat/CentOS.
10. If the PostgreSQL database is running locally, stop the PostgreSQL service.
    • /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2 stop
11. Uninstall the TeamForge CLI add-on.
    • cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge/add-ons/teamforge_cli_server
    • ./install --uninstall
    • yum erase teamforge_cli_server
12. Uninstall the PostgreSQL RPMs.
    Note: When prompted, you must select the option to remove all the dependent packages.
    • yum erase postgresql92-libs postgresql92-docs postgresql92-server postgresql92
13. Install the following application packages.
    1. TeamForge: To install the TeamForge application packages run the following command:
       • yum install teamforge
    2. Black Duck Code Sight: To install the Black Duck Code Sight packages run the following command:
       • yum install teamforge-codesearch
14. In the site-options.conf file, make sure you do the following.
    Note: Back up your site-options.conf file before making any changes.
    • vi /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/8.0.0.1/conf/site-options.conf
    1. Update the host name and domain name, if required.

       HOST_localhost=app database datamart etl indexer subversion cvs

       DOMAIN_localhost=my.app.domain.com

       HOST_my.git.domain.com=gerrit

       Add 'codesearch' to the HOST_localhost token if you are installing Black Duck Code Sight.

       HOST_my.localhost= app database datamart etl indexer subversion cvs codesearch

       Add 'binary' to the HOST_localhost token if you are installing Nexus.

       HOST_my.localhost= app database datamart etl indexer subversion cvs codesearch binary

    2. Turn on the SSL for your site by editing the relevant variables in the site-options.conf file. To generate the SSL certificates, see Generate SSL certificates.

       • SSL=on

       • SSL_CERT_FILE

       • SSL_KEY_FILE

       • SSL_CA_CERT_FILE

       • SSL_CHAIN_FILE

       Note: The SSL_CA_CERT_FILE and SSL_CHAIN_FILE are optional.
    3. If your site is running in SSL mode (SSL=on), add the following java runtime property to the JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS token.

       JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1536m -Xmx1536m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -server -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/tmp -verbose:gc -XX:+
       PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000
       

    4. If the token REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SECURITY is enabled, then set a value for the token, PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE.
       CAUTION:
       The Password Control Kit (PCK) disables, deletes or expires user accounts that don't meet the password security requirements starting from the date set for the PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE token. If a date is not set, the PCK disables, deletes or expires user accounts immediately. See PASSWORD_CONTROL_EFFECTIVE_DATE for more information.
    5. TeamForge 7.1 and later support automatic password creation. See AUTO_DATA for more information.
    6. Password Obfuscation
       

       The password obfuscation is enabled by default. As a result, all password-related tokens are encrypted in all the TeamForge configuration files.

       Restriction: The password-related tokens cannot contain the following characters in the site-options.conf file: $<>/\'"`
       • To disable password obfuscation, set OBFUSCATION_ENABLED=false.
       • To configure the obfuscation key, set OBFUSCATION_KEY=<Any AlphaNumeric value with length >= 8 bytes>. The default value of OBFUSCATION_KEY token is XSJt43wN.
    7. Ensure to set the token DEDICATED_INSTALL=true.
    8. Include the list of non-expiring TeamForge user accounts (password never expires).

       USERS_WITH_NO_EXPIRY_PASSWORD=admin,nobody,system,scmviewer,scmadmin

    9. Make sure that the following tokens have a value if ETL is enabled.

       SOAP_ANONYMOUS_SHARED_SECRET

       ETL_SOAP_SHARED_SECRET

    10. Configure Black Duck Code Sight tokens. See Black Duck Code Sight site-option tokens.
    11. To enable the history protection feature of TeamForge Git integration, set the GERRIT_FORCE_HISTORY_PROTECTION=true. For more information, see GERRIT_FORCE_HISTORY_PROTECTION.
    12. If you have LDAP set up for external authentication, you must set the “REQUIRE_USER_PASSWORD_CHANGE” site options token to false.
    13. If you are installing TeamForge through disconnected media, set the token HELP_AVAILABILITY=local.
    14. Ensure to set the token SELINUX_SETUP=false.
    15. Save the site-options.conf file.
15. Recreate the runtime environment.
    • cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/8.0.0.1
    • ./install.sh -r -I -V
16. Update the file permissions on your site's data.
    • /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/fix_data_permissions.sh
    Note: This process can take a long time for sites with a lot of data.
17. Convert your site data to work with TeamForge 8.0.
    Tip: Before you kick off the data migration, do the following:

    • Use the /etc/init.d/collabnet status command to make sure the JBoss, Tomcat and Tomcatcs services are stopped.
    • If any of the trackers in your project already contains a field with the name team, conflict may arise while running the migrate.py script. This is because of the inclusion of the Team feature in TeamForge 8.0. To prevent this conflict, follow the steps given in FAQ on troubleshooting.
    • /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/migrate.py
    The migrate.py script locates the existing site data and modifies it as needed.

    This includes configuration data for LDAP and the James mail server. Any modifications that you have applied to these components on your old site are reproduced on your upgraded TeamForge 8.0 site.

18. Start TeamForge.
    • /etc/init.d/collabnet start
19. If you have CVS integrations, synchronize permissions post upgrade. See, Synchronize TeamForge source control integrations.
20. Run the TeamForge post installation script. For more information, see post-install.py.
    1. Use the following command to run the post-install.py script.
       • /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/post-install.py
       Note: Enter the 'gitadmin' user name and password when prompted.
21. Install the Black Duck Code Sight license on the server where Black Duck Code Sight is installed. For more information see these instructions.
22. Run the svn_cache.sh script.
    • cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/codesearch/
    • ./svn_cache.sh <Repository Base URL Path of the SCM Integration Server>

    Provide a repository base URL path of the SCM integration server, for example, "http://myint.box.net/svn/repos", where myint.box is the server with the SCM integration server.

    In addition, if you add a new integration server at some point later, you must run this svn_cache.sh script, (after creating the new integration server), on the TeamForge application server.

Do this on the Git integration server - my.git.host

23. Migrate your PostgreSQL to the latest version supported by TeamForge 8.0.
    Important: You must have RHEL/CentOS 6.5 or later to run PGTurant. Upgrade the operating system packages (yum upgrade) before running PGTurant on sites running on RHEL/CentOS versions 6.4 or earlier.

    • /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.3 stop
25. Back up the Git file system data.
    1. Make an archive file with the following data directories.
       Tip: /tmp is just an example. You can use any directory or partition that you prefer.

       Directory	Contents
       /gitroot	Git source code repositories

       • cp -Rpfv /gitroot /tmp/gitbackup_dir
       • cp -Rpfv /opt/collabnet/gerrit/ /tmp/gitbackup_dir/gerrit
    2. Back up your SSH keys, if any.
26. Move the collabnet repository of the older version of TeamForge.
    • mv /etc/yum.repos.d/collabnet-7.2.0.x.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/collabnet-7.2.0.x.repo.cn_backup

30. Install the Git packages.
    • yum install teamforge-git
31. Copy the site-options.conf file from my.app.host and modify the token settings.
    Note: If you choose to use the old site-options.conf file, don’t forget to copy the AUTO_DATA token from the application server.
    1. Set the following tokens.

       HOST_my.git.host=gerrit

       DOMAIN_my.git.host=my.git.domain.com

       HOST_my.app.domain.com=app database datamart etl indexer subversion cvs

    2. Save the site-options.conf file.

34. Apply the finishing touches and make sure everything is running smoothly after upgrading to TeamForge 8.0.
    Important: Do not delete the teamforge-installer/8.0.0.1 directory. You will need it for future maintenance and upgrades.
    1. Log into your site as the administrator.
    2. If your site has custom branding, verify that your branding changes still work as intended. See Customize anything on your site.
    3. Let your site's users know they've been upgraded. See Communicate with all site users at once.
35. Remove the backup files after the TeamForge site is up and running as expected.
    1. Remove the repository and the file system backup from the /tmp/backup_dir directory.
    2. Remove the PostgreSQL 9.2 database dump and the file system from the /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/backups and /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data directories respectively.
