Migrating from DD5.x to DD6.x

Adam Stoller

Okay - this is kind of show-as-I-go kind of deal - hoping that if I incorrectly translate the migration documentation, someone here will help point me in the right direction ... and if I get it right... well in either case others will hopefully be able to use this thread to assist them in similar efforts.

To start off with, my original DD5.6 command line looked something like this [split into multiple lines for posting]:iwdd.ipl cfg=ddhome/conf/ddclient.cfg deployment=deployment-name
need-result=yes dbURL=our_db_url user=our_db_userid
password=our_db_password strArea=/default/main/.../STAGING
strContentFileList=/tmp/fXG6iYWN8X > ddhome/log/userid.log

Step 1. instead of calling iwdd.ipl I need to call iwodcmd start - right?
Step 2. I move the ddclient.cfg from ddhome/conf to odhome/conf - right?
Step 3. Instead of deployment=deployment-name it's now -k iwdd=deployment-name - right?
If I've done okay so far - we're now upto something that looks like this:iwodcmd start ddclient.cfg -k iwdd=deployment-name
need-result=yes dbURL=our_db_url user=our_db_userid
password=our_db_password strArea=/default/main/.../STAGING
strContentFileList=/tmp/fXG6iYWN8X > ddhome/log/userid.logI'm a bit concerned about the deployment configuration name above:
- Can I truly reference my ddclient.cfg file like that now that it's sitting in odhome/conf?
- Or do I have to change it to ddclient.xml?

Step 4. Change all the command-line substitution variables to OD-style substitutions (-k) - right?
Step 5. Remove the redirection for the logfile because that's now automatically written out to odhome/log/ddmoudle.log - right?
Assuming that I'm still going along okay, we've now got something like this:iwodcmd start ddclient.cfg -k iwdd=deployment-name
need-result=yes -k dbURL=our_db_url -k user=our_db_userid
-k password=our_db_password -k strArea=/default/main/.../STAGING
-k strContentFileList=/tmp/fXG6iYWN8XOkay now there's still one command-line parameter that I'm not sure about, need-result.
- Is this now a defacto-setting or do I still need to somehow plug this parameter into the command line?

I'm going to try to get all of this stuff setup as per the above and see what happens ...

Okay - first answer - at the very least ddclient.cfg needs to be renamed to ddclient.xml
I got a "Completed with error" message back from running it - and will do a bit more research on this as soon as I can ...

That's the one thing I noticed in your steps that didn't look right.

Fyi, as an alternative to moving the DD config file to <od-home>/conf, you can leave it elsewhere on the system and have a "wrapper" config file under <od-home>/conf that points to it. A wrapper config is a simple deployment config with the <dataDeploy> element in it.

I thought about the wrapper - but given that the *only* files we mainatained in DDHOME/conf was the config file and the DNR wrapper script - it's easy enough for me to move them into other locations and get rid of our "datadeploy/" directory altogether.

Now I have to figure out what's not working - the log file when I last looked at it wasn't very informative.

BTW - what's up with the 'need-result=yes' piece -- is that now a defacto setting? or is that something we still need to handle somehow (and if so - how)?

Step 6. Don't forget to set a port number in ODHOME/etc/iwsyncdb.cfg (I chose 20015)
Step 7. Don't forget to restart the OD Base Server (/etc/init.d/iwod60 restart)
Step -1. Dont forget to pass in the correct DB-URL ;-) [I'm still working on trying to find out what it is ... we're in a transitional environment during our upgrade process and I'm not sure what the correct url is right now ... hopefully this is the last piece of the puzzle]

Summary of translation from DD 5.x usage of iwdd.ipl to DD 6.x

My original DD5.6 command line looked something like this [split into multiple lines for posting]:iwdd.ipl cfg=ddhome/conf/ddclient.cfg deployment=deployment-name
need-result=yes dbURL=our_db_url user=our_db_userid
password=our_db_password strArea=/default/main/.../STAGING
strContentFileList=/tmp/fXG6iYWN8X > ddhome/log/userid.log

Hi,
The argument to the command "-k need-result=yes " is not required as of 6.0. Pre OD/DD6.0 I think the flag was the mechanism for "client waiting for response" kind of function.

thanks

That's what I figured - but I also figured it was safer to leave it in until told otherwise ;-)

Thanks for the clarification.
