Open Source Document Management

Hi,

I have a logicaldoc CE 6.0.1 running.
What is the best way to upgrade this to version 6.1?

I tried some things, like installing 6.1 and copying over the whole repository, but it doesn't work that way.

ps: thanks for this wonderfull product!!

The upgrade for the Open Source (Community edition) of LogicalDOC 6.1 will be released when the commercial edition 6.2 will be released.

However there are no particular changes, only small updates in the schema of the database.

So if you want to upgrade your LD CE 6.0.x to 6.1 it will be sufficient:

1) apply the changes to the database
2) install the new version of the program
3) merge your old context.properties file (which contains your Settings)

I recommend this as a hint: compare the 2 version of file logicaldoc-core.sql which you can find in the src distribs. of the software

Also read this guide: http://wiki.logicaldoc.com/wiki/LDCE_Mi ... 0_to_6.0.1

Have fun

Thanks for your answer.

Another thing: how do I do step 1 with the "inbuilt" db?

Shutdown the Tomcat that runs LogicalDOC and open the DB with SQuirrel SQL http://www.squirrelsql.org/
Connect to the db of LD which is located in the LD working dir, then you can apply the opportune changes to the DB.
Disconnect from the DB
Exit from SQuirrel SQL Client
Restart LogicalDOC
(this procedure is needed because HSQLDB is a Java embedded DB and you can use it from only one JVM concurrently)

Have a nice day
Alex

Hello again,

Only now I'm back on the project where we used logicalDOC 6.0.1.
And I found the "upgrade tools" to do the upgrade from sourceforge.
Unfortunately the sql doesn't run on my squirrelsql. I get lots of errors executing the sql.

example:
alter table ld_document add column ld_barcoded int not null default 2;
-> squirrelsql doesn't like the "not null"
alter table ld_document modify ld_customid VARCHAR(255);
-> squirrelsql: Unexpected token: MODIFY in statement [alter table ld_document modify]
alter table ld_ticket drop FOREIGN KEY FK_TICKET_DOC;
-> squirrelsql: Column not found: FOREIGN in statement [alter table ld_ticket drop FOREIGN]

Is this normal? Or linked to my environment? (squirrelsql 3.2.1)

Thanks for your time

For the not null, you can remove it and reexecute the instruction.

For the other errors, these statements was written for MySQL you should write the same command but using your DB syntax.

Regards

Ah thanks for the explanation.
I thought the sql was for the HSQLDB used as internal db for logicaldoc, so now I know I should adapt it.
