BEFORE YOU START

You must follow the procedure outlined below when upgrading to Server 7.1.

Failure to follow the proper steps could lead to unrecoverable data loss. Please follow these instructions carefully.

Please also note you must be under a valid maitenancne support contract to upgrade to Server 7.1.

STEP 1 – BACKUP YOUR DATABASE

IMPORTANT: CatDV Server 7 stores its metadata in a different way from previous versions or CatDV Server. The upgrade process must therefore migrate your data from the old format to the new format. This step cannot be undone so it is vital that your data is properly backed up before you start in case it becomes necessary to roll back your installation.

It is also recommended that if you are currently using the in-built database you should consider switching to MySQL for better efficiency and reliability. The MySQL installation guide can be found at the following link: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-installer/en/

STEP 2– SET UP YOUR FIELD SETS

Migration to Server 7.1 requires that all CatDV Production Groups are assigned a named Field Set. (Preferably all Production Groups should use the same Field Set, but that is not a requirement.)

IMPORTANT: If you do not assign a named Field Set to each Production Group before starting the upgrade, the data migration process will not be able to run and you will have to roll back to Server 6 and assign Field Sets to your groups. Please use the following tutorial for setting up Field sets.

STEP 3– UPGRADE

Please use the following tutorial if you are upgrading from Server 6 to Server 7.

Please note there is a new method for web proxy path mappings in Server 7 – there is a tutorial available online.
