Upgrade Notes

Crucible 2.8

  • Crucible 2.8 

    A minor schema change has been made to the Crucible SQL Schema in 2.8. If you need to rollback to an earlier version, you will need to restore from a backup to do so. Be sure to take a backup before you upgrade.
    Please also be sure to read the End of Life Announcements for FishEye/Crucible 2.8 .


 

Upgrade Procedure

Before you begin

  • Test your upgrades in your test environment before rolling into production.
  • Back up your entire Crucible instance (see Backing up and restoring Crucible data), i.e.
    • If you are backing up your Crucible instance via the Admin interface, tick all of the 'Include' checkboxes (e.g. plugins, templates, uploads, SQL database, etc).
    • If you are backing up your Crucible instance using the command-line interface, do not use any exclusion options.

If you are already running a version of Crucible, please refer to the Crucible upgrade guide.
