Upgrade Instructions

Below are Step-by-Step Instructions after you have  upgraded to Wildfly.

Initial Steps:

  • Download  the binary upgrade distribution from  i2b2core-upgrade-1713.zip 
  • Extract the download file i2b2core-upgrade-1713.zip to a folder outside of your existing i2b2 installation folder 

Then, follow the steps below to upgrade i2b2 server, database instance and the webclient.


Steps to Upgrade i2b2 Server

In the following instructions the variable { version } refers to your version of Wildfly installed.  We now support Wildfly 17 version.

Stop WildFly

Linux Example
$ /opt/wildfly-{version}.Final/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown
Windows Standalone Example
> \opt\wildfly-{version}.Final\bin\standalone stop


Backup existing deployment directory containing i2b2.war file

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

Upgrade deployments folder

Copy all the files from the extracted downloaded deployment folder into your existing WildFly standalone/deployments directory.

Example your deployments folder: /opt/<wildfly-17.0.0.Final and above version>/standalone/deployments/

Example extracted deployments folder: i2b2core-upgrade-1713\i2b2\deployments

The folder includes the upgraded war file and upgraded jdbc driver files.

Update  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

Replace ALL the <driver>{something}.jar</driver> with latest drivers as below

Oracle

SQL Server

PostgreSQL

<driver>ojdbc8.jar</driver>

<driver>mssql-jdbc--9.2.0jre8.jar</driver>

<driver>postgresql42.3.2.jar</driver>

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.

 

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

Steps to perform db upgrade:

  • Backup your existing data folder
  • Copy all the folders created by extracting the latest version into your existing  data Upgrade folder. This will replace existing Crcdata, Hivedata, Metadata, PMdata folders. Example:  Downloads\i2b2core-upgrade-1713\i2b2\data to C:\opt\edu.harvard.i2b2.data\Release_1-7\Upgrade\.
  • Copy the db.properties files from your back up into the respective locations (namely Crcdata, Hivedata, Metadata, PMdata )
  • Open the command prompt and navigate to each cell folder and run the following upgrade ant commands on your i2b2 database instance, where {db} can  be Oracle, sqlserver or postgresql.
    Alternative to above Step, you can run individual SQL scripts on your db instance in place of  ant commands.
  • In datafolder\Release_1-7\Upgrade\  run the ant commands under each individual cell folder as below
