Upgrade incompatability

Warning

Please do not upgrade to 3.3 or later from 2.3 or earlier version of Portal.

If you need to upgrade such a system, please apply the upgrades up to 2.4.x and then install Portal 3.3. Upgrades from earlier than 2.4 to Portal 3.3 and later are not supported.

Latest Portal 2.4 upgrade compability is still tested, but will be removed as of Portal 4.0

Upgrade instructions

Note

When upgrading to 3.3 (or later versions) from any version prior to 3.3. Make sure all running archive jobs are completed or data loss may occur.

This is because the “old” queue will no longer exists so any jobs still in that queue will not be executed.

Category in Release Notes

From Portal 3.3. all tickets have one or several Categories, to make it easier to see and understand what areas have been changed in the latest release. Some requires some explanations:

  • Admin - This is the Admin UI in the Portal Web, but also related to things like installation and configuration from the command line

  • Collections - Everything that has to do with Collections

  • Metadata - Everything that has to do with metadata display or configuration

  • Portal - This is sort of the rest, if it does not fit in any other area it will be portal

  • Searches - This is the Search UI as well as the display of the search results

Archive Framework Upgrade

Cantemo Portal 3.0.x comes with an upgraded archive framework supporting a number of new features including improved searching, multiple archive plans for integrations which support this as well as the ability to enable multiple archive integrations at the same time.

If you are upgrading from version 2.4.x or earlier and are using a using an archive integration using the Cantemo Archive Framework, including Filesystem Archive, StorNext or DIVA then you will need to run a management command in order to upgrade the system to Archive Framework v2. Begin by making sure only one archive plugin is enabled and then run the command:

/opt/cantemo/portal/manage.py migrate_af_v1

This will upgrade all items archived with v1 of archive framework to v2. After running this command you will be able to enable additional archive integrations.
