Upgrade Notes
FishEye 2.7
- When FishEye 2.7 is upgraded, it will run a one-time upgrade task that will create a new index of file revisions, and minor database indexing tasks. These should have no functional impact and should complete in a few minutes.
- FishEye 2.7 adds ActiveObjects support, which allows plugins to store configuration data in the database. Any already scheduled backups will not have plugin data included during backups. Please modify your scheduled backup configuration appropriately to include ActiveObjects backups.
- If you are using Custom authentication, FishEye 2.7's managed repositories have changed the responsibilities of the
com.cenqua.fisheye.user.plugin.FishEyeAuthenticatorclass. For external repositories thehasPermissionToAccess()method is still invoked to check whether a user may access a particular repository. For internal or managed repositories,hasPermissionToAccess()is used to determine whether a user has both read and write access to the repository.
Upgrade Procedure
Before you begin
- Test your upgrades in your test environment before rolling into production.
- Back up your entire Fisheye instance (see Backing up and restoring Fisheye data):
- If you are backing up your Fisheye instance using the Admin interface, tick all of the 'Include' checkboxes (e.g. repository and application caches, plugins and their configuration data, SQL database, etc).
- If you are backing up your Fisheye instance using the command-line interface, do not use any exclusion options.
If you are already running a version of FishEye, please follow the instructions in the general FishEye Upgrade Guide .
