Update

The update steps divided in the ones for the management server and the ones for the PLOSSYS 5 server.

Hint - no Internet access

If the server on which you want to update the components does not have Internet access, use another server with Internet access for logging on to the SEAL Systems delivery platform and downloading the folder and packages. Then, copy the downloaded files to the server on which you want to update.

Notes Concerning the Update from 5.0.5 to 5.1.0

  • With PLOSSYS 5.1.0, the directory structure of the installation has been changed. Therefore, it is required to execute some manually steps before and after the update, refer to Manually Steps Before Updating the PLOSSYS 5 Server from 5.0.5 to 5.1.0 and Manually Steps After Updating the PLOSSYS 5 Server from 5.0.5 to 5.1.0.

  • When updating to PLOSSYS 5.1.0 and using easyPRIMA as of version 1.3.1, the 20181204_perl_soap-lite_1.27_part.zip package has to be installed with easyPRIMA. Otherwise, the export from easyPRIMA to PLOSSYS 5 does not work and the 500 SSL negotiation failed error message is output to the logfile of easyPRIMA (edc.log).

    Hint - stop the system

    Before installing the 20181204_perl_soap-lite_1.27_part.zip package, stop the system and all Perl processes completely (sysstop -full). Otherwise, the Perl environment will break.

  • Up to version 5.0.5, an error sheet was output in case of error. As of version 5.1.0, the error sheet is not output by default but can be activated by setting PRINT_ERROR_SHEET to Y. The PRINT_ERROR_SHEET environment variable is available as of version 5.1.0.

Update the Management Server

    https://delivery.sealsystems.de

    Hint - logon data

    You receive the logon data from your Technical Project Manager at SEAL Systems.

  2. Download the SEAL Elastic Stack {{ SEAL_SLASTICSTACK_VERSION }} - rpm folder. It is saved as SEAL Elastic Stack 1.0.0.493 - rpm.zip.

  3. Extract SEAL Elastic Stack 1.0.0.493 - rpm.zip:

    unzip "SEAL Elastic Stack 1.0.0.493 - rpm.zip"

      sudo zypper --non-interactive install seal-bos2gyros-1.0.30-276.x86_64.rpm

Manually Steps Before Updating the PLOSSYS 5 Server from 5.0.5 to 5.1.0

With PLOSSYS 5.1.0, the directory structure of the installation has been changed. Therefore, it is required to execute some manually steps before and after the update.

  1. Stop the PLOSSYS 5 system completely:

    plossys service stop

  2. Create the new directories and copy the old contents to the new locations:

    sudo mkdir -p /opt/seal/etc

    sudo cp -a /opt/seal/plossys/etc/* /opt/seal/etc

    sudo mkdir -p /opt/seal/data

    sudo cp -a /opt/seal/plossys/data/* /opt/seal/data

    sudo find /opt/seal/etc -type f -exec sed -i "s|/opt/seal/plossys/|/opt/seal/|g" "{}" \;

    sudo ln -fs /opt/seal/etc/mongod.conf /etc/mongod.conf

  3. Uninstall seal-filebeat:

    • RHEL:

      sudo yum --assumeyes remove seal-filebeat

    • SLES:
