Crucible 1.6 Upgrade Notes

Upgrade Procedure

Method 1 - Using a FISHEYE_INST Directory

If you have Crucible configured to use a FISHEYE_INST directory, then simply:

  1. Shutdown your existing FishEye server.
  2. Make a backup of your FISHEYE_INST directory
  3. Extract the new Crucible version to a directory.
  4. Leave your FISHEYE_INST environment variable set to its existing location.
  5. Start Crucible from the new installation.
  6. Follow any version-specific instructions found in the Release Notes.

Read more about the FISHEYE_INST environment variable.

Method 2 - Without a FISHEYE_INST Directory

If you are using the FISHEYE_HOME directory, you will need to copy some files from your old Crucible installation to your new one.

  1. Extract the new Crucible archive into a directory such as /NEW_FISHEYE/.
  2. Delete the /NEW_FISHEYE/var directory.
  3. Shut down the old Crucible instance if it is running.
  4. Copy /OLD_FISHEYE/config.xml to /NEW_FISHEYE/.
  5. Copy (or move) the /OLD_FISHEYE/var directory to /NEW_FISHEYE/var.
  6. Copy your database drivers to your new lib directory under NEW_FISHEYE/lib.
  7. Follow any version-specific instructions found in the Release Notes.
Method 3 - Without a FISHEYE_INST Directory, but would like to set one up
  1. Shut down the old FishEye instance if it is running.
  2. Set up the FISHEYE_INST environment variable, then create the FISHEYE_INST directory on your filesystem.
  3. Copy the /OLD_FISHEYE/config.xml to /FISHEYE_INST.
  4. Copy the /OLD_FISHEYE/var directory to /FISHEYE_INST.
  5. Download Crucible.
  6. Extract the new Crucible archive into a directory such as /NEW_FISHEYE/.
  7. Start Crucible from the new installation by running NEW_FISHEYE/bin/run.sh. (Use run.bat on Windows).
  8. Follow the initial configuration steps outlined below.
  9. If your configuration is not automatically picked up and you cannot see your existing repositories, check your Administration > Sys-Info page, where you will see information about FISHEYE_HOME and FISHEYE_INST. Check your FISHEYE_INST is pointing to the right directory.
