In this procedure, we'll assume that you are upgrading on the same RHEL/CentOS 7.2
server where your existing TeamForge
8.1 site is
running.
Important: TeamForge
8.2 supports
RHEL/CentOS 7.2. However, it also
supports RHEL/CentOS 6.7 if you choose to upgrade on the same server that runs
RHEL/CentOS 6.7.
In this option, the
following services run on the application server (we call this
my.app.host).
- TeamForge Application Server
- ETL Server
- GIT Integration Server
- SCM Integration Server (Subversion and
CVS)
- Search Server (Indexer)
Both the operational and reports databases run on the database server (we call this
my.db.host).
- Database Server (Operational DB and Reports
DB)
Note: For the ETL service to run as expected in a distributed TeamForge installation, all servers must have
the same time zone.
Log on to the server as root
user always.
Do the following on the application server - my.app.host
-
Uninstall the TeamForge CLI add-on.
Important: You must have no tasks in progress
while uninstalling the CLI
add-ons.
- cd
/opt/collabnet/teamforge/add-ons/teamforge_cli_server
- custom-install --uninstall
- yum erase teamforge_cli_server
-
Stop TeamForge.
- /etc/init.d/collabnet
stop all
-
No backup is required for same hardware upgrades. However, you can create a
backup as a precaution. See Back up and restore CollabNet TeamForge data to
learn more about backing up TeamForge database and file system.
-
Upgrade the operating system packages.
-
Create
a file, /etc/security/limits.d/teamforge.conf, and make
sure it has the following "nproc" and "nofile" settings.
- vim
/etc/security/limits.d/teamforge.conf
- sf-admin soft nproc 10240
- sf-admin hard nproc 10240
- sf-admin hard nofile 65536
- sf-admin soft nofile 65536
- Save
the file and
reboot
the server.
-
If the TeamForge server has SELinux
enabled, run it in 'Permissive' mode temporarily while installing or upgrading
TeamForge.
-
Verify if SELinux is running in enforcing mode.
-
If the output of the getenforce command is
"Permissive", continue with the next
step.
If not, run the following command to bring it to 'Permissive'
mode.
See Set up SELinux to have TeamForge run in SELinux mode after
completing the installation or upgrade.

- yum install teamforge-git
-
Set up your site's master configuration file.
Always use the
site-options-dedicated.conf file that's packaged with the TeamForge version
you are upgrading to.
Refer
to the
TeamForge
8.1
site-options.conf
file,
understand your site settings
and
set
up your
TeamForge
8.2
site-options.conf
file.
CAUTION:
You run the risk of missing out on newly added site option tokens if
you keep reusing your
site-options.conf file from an older
TeamForge version on newer
versions.
See the
New features in CollabNet TeamForge 8.2 section of
the Release Notes to know what's new with
site-options.conf
tokens.
-
Back up your existing site-options.conf as
site-options-old.conf.

- mv conf/site-options.conf
conf/site-options-old.conf
-
Copy the /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/8.2.0.0/conf/site-options-dedicated.conf file to the TeamForge installer
directory.
- cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/8.2.0.0/
- cp conf/site-options-dedicated.conf
conf/site-options.conf
-
Set up your site options:
In
addition to the new site options you may set up for TeamForge 8.2, refer to the
TeamForge 8.1's site-options-old.conf file and make sure that
the TeamForge 8.2
site-options.conf file inherits all the
required site options.
- sudo vi /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/8.2.0.0/conf/site-options.conf
-
Update the host name and domain name, if required.
HOST_localhost=app etl indexer subversion cvs
DOMAIN_localhost=my.app.domain.com
HOST_my.db.domain.com=database datamart
HOST_my.codesight.domain.com=codesearch
Add "gerrit" to
Host_localhost if you are
installing Git.
HOST_localhost=app etl indexer subversion cvs gerrit
Add "binary" to
Host_localhost if you are
installing Nexus.
HOST_localhost=app etl indexer subversion cvs gerrit binary
-
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_CHAIN_FILE
Note: The SSL_CERT_FILE and SSL_KEY_FILE tokens need an absolute path.
The SSL_CHAIN_FILE token is
optional.
-
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.
-
TeamForge 7.1 and later
support
automatic password
creation.
See AUTO_DATA for more
information.
-
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.
-
Ensure to set the token
DEDICATED_INSTALL=true.
-
Include the list of non-expiring TeamForge user accounts (password never
expires).
USERS_WITH_NO_EXPIRY_PASSWORD=admin,nobody,system,scmviewer,scmadmin
-
Make sure that the following tokens have a value if ETL is
enabled.
SOAP_ANONYMOUS_SHARED_SECRET
ETL_SOAP_SHARED_SECRET
-
Configure the Black Duck Code Sight tokens. See
Black Duck Code Sight site-option tokens.
-
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.
-
If you have LDAP set up for external authentication, you must set the
“REQUIRE_USER_PASSWORD_CHANGE” site options token to
false.
-
Ensure to set the token SELINUX_SETUP=true.
-
Configure the JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS site-options.conf
token. See JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS.
Important: All JVM parameters but
-Xms1024m
and
-Xmx2048m have been hard-coded in the TeamForge core
application. You need not manually configure any other parameter (such as
-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128M -server
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000) in
the
site-options.conf file.
When you change the default
value of a JVM parameter such as "-XX:HeapDumpPath", the JBoss runtime
parameters include both the user defined and default values for the JVM
parameter. However, JBoss runs with the user defined value and ignores the
default value.
-
Save the site-options.conf file.
-
Recreate the runtime environment.

Convert your site data to work with TeamForge
8.2.
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
8.2
site.
-
Start TeamForge.
- /etc/init.d/collabnet
start
Note: Gerrit
is configured as part of the post installation tasks included in the
post-install.py script. As a result, Gerrit's status would
be Not configured during startup, which you can safely
ignore.
-
If you have CVS integrations, synchronize permissions post upgrade. See, Synchronize TeamForge source control integrations.
-
Run the TeamForge post installation script. For
more information, see post-install.py.
- /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/post-install.py
Do the following on the Black Duck Code Sight server - my.codesight.host.
-
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 the following on the TeamForge Application Server - my.app.host
-
Apply the finishing touches and make sure everything is running smoothly after
upgrading to TeamForge
8.2.
Important: Do not delete the teamforge-installer/8.2.0.0
directory. You will need it for future maintenance and upgrades.
-
Log into your site as the administrator.
-
If your site has custom branding, verify that your branding changes
still work as intended.
See Customize anything on your site.
-
Let your site's users know they've been upgraded.
See Communicate with all site users at once.
-
Remove the backup files, if any, after the TeamForge site is up and running as
expected. Remove the repository and the file system backup from the
/tmp/backup_dir directory.
Note: After upgrade, it takes some time for the publishing repositories to get
created for projects imported from other TeamForge sites.
