Upgrade version

This document assumes that you are upgrading Fisheye & Crucible to version 4.1.1. Switch to Fisheye 4.0 group name normalization for Fisheye & Crucible 4.1.2 or later.

Group name normalization

Up to Fisheye and Crucible 3.10 group names were case sensitive. With version 4.0 and the new user directories management functionality, group names are required to be unique after lowercasing. 

E.g. if in version prior to 4.0 there were 3 groups defined:

  • group-A
  • Group-A
  • grouP-A

the 4.0 upgrade task should resolve conflicting group names by adding the _migration[X] suffix. After the upgrade the following groups will be configured:

  • group-A
  • Group-A_migration1
  • grouP-A_migration2

The upgrade task updates the group names in all entities related to a given group name, including:

  • Internal directory groups
  • Permission scheme actions configuration for groups
  • Project default reviewers groups
  • Project allowed review participant groups
  • Administrators groups
  • Crowd/Jira groups to synchronise

However, repository permissions defined for groups have to be updated manually.

Updating repository permissions

After the upgrade all repository permissions should be configured on the first non-unique group name. 

Example:

In version 3.10 the following repository permissions were defined:

Repository nameRepository permissionGroup name
repository1CAN_READ

group-A

repository2CAN_READ

Group-A

repository3CAN_READ

grouP-A

After the upgrade the following permissions are defined:

Repository nameRepository permissionGroup nameInfo
repository1CAN_READ

group-a

referencing correctly: group-A
repository2CAN_READ

group-a

referencing: group-A instead of: Group-A_migration1
repository3CAN_READ

group-a

referencing: group-A instead of: grouP-A_migration2

All repository permissions for which there was a name conflict during the upgrade should be manually reviewed.

  1. Find all group names which caused conflict during upgrade

    grep WARN [FISHEYE_INST]/var/log/atlassian-fisheye-EmbeddedCrowdUpgradeTask.log | grep duplicate

    Example result:

    WARN  After normalization the group name Group-A1 duplicates an existing group name, so it will be renamed to Group-A1_migration1. Manual actions are required: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/FishEye+4.0+group+name+normalization
    WARN  After normalization the group name group-A1 duplicates an existing group name, so it will be renamed to group-A1_migration2. Manual actions are required: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/FishEye+4.0+group+name+normalization
    WARN  After normalization the group name grouP-A1 duplicates an existing group name, so it will be renamed to grouP-A1_migration3. Manual actions are required: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/FishEye+4.0+group+name+normalization
  2. Find all repositories where repository permissions should be checked

    select cru_repository_name 
    from cru_repo_group_perm 
    where cru_group_name like LOWER('group-A1') 
    group by cru_repository_name

    Example result:

    repository1
    repository2
    repository3
  3. Repository permissions for all listed repositories should be manually reviewed through the Administrator UI / Repository configuration / Permissions
