V 5.x - Milestone releases notes
💥 Potentially breaking changes, please read the details below💥
We are now moving the Employee Success server app to our new consolidated platform. We have been working on this migration project for more than 8 months now.
Please check different scenarios below & follow the relevant steps.
Scenario 1
Currently you are on a version earlier than V 4.5.0.0 and trying to upgrade to any V 5.x version
First step is to upgrade to V 4.5.0.0
Look at the ‘Migration check’ screen as an UpRaise administrator (if there are any warnings or errors on this screen, reach out to us for support)
If all checks are green then follow the steps mentioned in Scenario 3 below
Scenario 2
Currently you are on version V 5.x and trying to upgrade to any higher V 5.x version
There are no breaking changes here, you can simply upgrade as usual
Scenario 3
Critical upgrade path
Currently you are on version V 4.5.0.0 and trying to upgrade to any higher V 5.x version
Look at the ‘Migration check’ screen as an UpRaise administrator (if there are any warnings or errors on this screen, reach out to us for support), if all is green - then follow the steps below
This is the most critical piece, take following precautions
This upgrade is going to involve potentially breaking changes, thus ensure that you are verifying the upgrade first on a test Jira instance where your production data is restored.
Please perform this upgrade on your production Jira instance over the weekend to avoid any potential downtime.
At the time of upgrade, all the UpRaise screens will be blocked from access & you will be able to see a migration in progress screen.
If you want to be extra cautious about this upgrade, run below ‘Pre-check script’ on your Jira DB & share the output with us. Looking at the results, we will be able to help you assess readiness of your instance to migrate to any V 5.x version.
Scenario 4
Currently you are on version V 4.5.0.0 and trying to upgrade to any higher V 5.x version
You have tried this upgrade in the past but it failed
Your Jira is backed by a MS SQL database (if you are not using MS SQL, this scenario isn’t for you)
Run below DB script before trying the upgrade again
Important points to know
Read & understand below points before trying the upgrade process.
Migration log file can be found here - \jira\home\data\upraise\migration.log
Note that OKR IDs may be different in the older version of the app vs the new/migrated version. We do maintain a separate mapping in the table but the app won’t redirect old IDs to new IDs.
Once you successfully update to V 5.x and your team starts using this version, DO NOT downgrade to any version < V 5.x. Reach out to us if there are any urgent problems in V 5.x & we will help you proactively to solve them.
Any new data that is created in V 5.x will be lost if you downgrade to any version < V 5.x
Notes on REST APIs
If you’ve been using UpRaise’s REST APIs, you will need to make a few minor changes to them when using any 5.x version. By & large, the changes to the APIs are minimal & ideally shouldn’t need any major changes to your implementation for consuming them.
Below section mentions only those items that are changed, other input parameters will continue to behave as before.
