 Notes

Release 1.7.13 contains changes to the i2b2 core Server, database and Web Client.

  • The db upgrade process is now automated to reduce the workload of manually running each individual sql script against your db instance.
  • All the SQL script executions are incorporated into a single data_build.xml which can easily be run using ant commands.

Note: If you are running your application on JBoss, please upgrade to Wildfly before proceeding with the upgrade.

UI Steps

UI Step

Stop WildFly

Code Block
languagepowershell
titleLinux Example
collapsetrue
$ /opt/wildfly-{version}.Final/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown



UI Step

Backup your existing i2b2.war directory

UI Expand
titleLinux

On Linux, move the /opt/wildfly-{version}.Final/standalone/deployments/ and save it to a different location outside of /opt/wildfly-{version}.Final/ 



UI Expand
titleWindows

On Windows, move the c:\opt\wildfly-{version}.Final\standalone\deployments\ and save it to a different location outside of c:\opt\wildfly-{version}.Final





UI Step

Copy all the files from the extracted downloaded  war file deployment into your existing WildFly standalone directory. The folder includes the upgraded war file and jdbc driver files

/opt/<wildfly-17.0.0.Final and above version>/standalone/deployments/


UI Step

Update the datasource (*-ds.xml) files in your  deployment directory

Copy *-ds.xml files from the backup folder to wildfly-17.0.#.Final/standalone/deployments

Edit the following files crc-ds.xml, ont-ds.xml, pm-ds.xml, work-ds.xml
and replace ALL the <driver>{something}.jar</driver> with

Oracle

SQL Server

PostgreSQL

<driver>ojdbc8.jar</driver>

<driver>mssql-jdbc-7.4.1.jre8.jar</driver>

<driver>postgresql42.2.8.jar</driver>



UI Step

Migrate cell properties to 1.7.13, if needed. In 1.7.12, cell properties have been moved to the database, in a table called hive_cell_params. If any cell properties were previously changed, they will need to be manually updated in the database. After this, the properties files can be deleted to prevent confusion.

More documentation on setting cell properties is available at this page. Most commonly, the AGG_SERVICE_ACCOUNT password will need to be updated. Generally, the cell URLs do not need to be configured anymore, as the hostname and port is now auto-detected.

titleExample

Properties files are stored at /opt/wildfly-{version}.Final/standalone/configuration/ on Linux and c:\opt\wildfly-{version}.Final\standalone\configuration\ on Windows. The table can be edited with a SQL editor in hive_cell_params.


Steps to Upgrade i2b2 database

UI Step
  1. Backup your existing data folder
  2.  Copy all the folders from the extracted download data folder   into your existing  data Upgrade folder.

                    Example .\2b2core-upgrade-1712a_ext\i2b2\data to C:\opt\edu.harvard.i2b2.data\Release_1-7\Upgrade\. This will replace the existing Crcdata, Hivedata, Metadata, PMdata folders .

  1. Copy the db.properties files from your data back up into the respective locations(namely Crcdata, Hivedata, Metadata, PMdata )
  2.  Run the following upgrade ant commands on your i2b2 database instance, where {db} can be Oracle, sqlserver or postgresql .

                    Alternative to Step 5, you can run individual SQL scripts on your db instance in place of  ant commands.

In  data folder\Release_1-7\Upgrade\  run the ant commands under each individual cell subfolder as below.

1.7.09c


1.7.10


1.7.11

In the Hivedata folder run the following ant command: ant -f data_build.xml upgrade_hive_tables_release_1-7

In the Metadata folder run the following ant command: ant -f data_build.xml upgrade_tables_release_1-7
