Database Upgrade Errors -- Please Help

Jennifer_I_Moore · November 21, 2005, 4:04pm

Gentle Greetings,

We are in the process of upgrading from RT 3.0.0 to RT 3.4.4. We have set
up a new server with a fresh install of Apache (dynamic), MySQL, and RT,
all located in a separate filesystem for RT. I did a database dump from
our production system and imported it into the new system. Then I ran all
of the needed database upgrade scripts.

There were errors on some of the database upgrade scripts, and data is
clearly missing from the RT display in the web interface (for example,
Custom Fields). I have included the output from running the database
scripts below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the
Wiki and mail list archives and found similar threads but no solutions.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!
Jennifer

Here is information about the setup of our new server:

Hello Jennifer,

You didn’t mention what version of RT you installed on the new server. If
it’s 3.4.4 that would account for the errors in the database upgrade
scripts - the changes it was trying to make are already in place.

I’m not sure of the exact upgrade path from 3.0 to 3.4, but I think
generally speaking you should start with a replica of your older system and
let the RT upgrade scripts take care of bringing the database up to the
latest version rather than installing 3.4.4 and importing your old database.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the reply. Our old (currently production) server has old
versions of MySQL, Apache, and RT (3.0.0). Also, it is a static build,
with many parts relying on system shared libraries. The new server has
everything in its own filesystem on a SAN, with upgraded versions of all of
the parts. So, it is not really possible to just use the old stuff.

In a sense, we are creating a “replica” on the new server, just with newer
versions of the software pieces. The MySQL import puts the old database in
place on the new server. Then I run make upgrade instead of make install
for RT. But the db upgrade scripts are not all working. The new RT is
online, but pieces are not displayed. The db dump from the old system
shows all the data.

Thanks again Steve.

If you don’t have an old version of RT installed, wouldn’t you need to

Hi Drew,

New version of RT (3.4.4) + database from old version of RT (3.0.0).

We’ve tried it several different ways… make install, make upgrade, db
upgrade scripts…

We haven’t yet taken the route of installing RT 3.0.0 on the new server,
importing the production db from the old server, and then running make
upgrade to RT 3.4.4 on both the RT install and the database… is that
what needs to happen?

Guess I was hoping to be able to bring just the old (3.0.0) database up to
speed with the new install of 3.4.4 rather than having to install the old
RT as well.

In this latter scenerio, would it be make install or make upgrade? It
wasn’t clear to us.

Thanks in advance,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

Yes, I think that’s what I was getting at - you need to do just that.

However what I’m not sure about is if there’s a direct one-step upgrade
from 3.0.0 to 3.4.4 or if you have to do in more than one step (e.g. 3.0 →
3.2 and then 3.2 → 3.4).

Andrew_Xenides · November 21, 2005, 11:16pm

Hi,

I want to do a custom condition for a scrip, which will basically be
OnCreate and Requestor address matches “blah” then send the auto reply.

At the moment I have

if ($self->TrasactionObj->Type =~ ‘Create’){
if ($self->TicketObj->RequestorAddresses =~ /dontsend/){
return (undef);
}
if ($self->TicketObj->RequestorAddresses !~ /send/){
return (undef);
}
}else{
return (undef)
}
return(1);

but that seems to be sending the auto reply on every transaction, not just
when the ticket is created.

Im guessing im using the wrongs TransactionObj-> Type

Again,

The problem is the transactionobj-type = create that’s causing the issue

The regex part of the scrip works fine

create part.From: Todd Chapman [mailto:todd@chaka.net]

Hi,

Thanks, the reason I have it in 2 separate if statements is that the don’t
send one contains a portion of the send one, hence if its dontsend don’t
send, but if its only send, then send it. If I put send first, it will
match
in both cases.

The problem is the transaction create part, it is sending emails even if

I think you should be able to do a make install, then restore the

described in the README.

Hi Les,

Thank you for the reply. We tried the approach you suggest, and ran into
errors while running the db upgrade scripts. The error logs were included
in my original message.

Still hoping someone can give us some clues as to the cause of the errors.

Thanks in advance,

The first error you show:
Table ‘Attributes’ already exists at
/rt/apps/rt/rt-3.4.4/sbin/rt-setup-database line 205.
looks like you didn’t drop the newly created database before loading
the old one.

Ruslan_Zakirov · November 22, 2005, 9:14pm

I think you have to do next steps:

get new server
resolve RT 3.4.4 dependencies on the new server
run configure --...; make install this will install RT’s source code
configure RT_SiteConfig
dump DB from the old server and restore it on the new with DB’s
tool (mysqldump)
create mysql user with credentials the same as in RT_SiteConfig
(option $DatabaseUser, $DatabasePass). Use mysql tools for this step.
run DB upgrade scripts

NOTE: you don’t need to run make initialize-database on the new
server from 3.4.4 tarball dir, because this will break upgrade
scripts.On 11/21/05, Jennifer I. Moore jim1@cornell.edu wrote:

Gentle Greetings,

We are in the process of upgrading from RT 3.0.0 to RT 3.4.4. We have set
up a new server with a fresh install of Apache (dynamic), MySQL, and RT,
all located in a separate filesystem for RT. I did a database dump from
our production system and imported it into the new system. Then I ran all
of the needed database upgrade scripts.

There were errors on some of the database upgrade scripts, and data is
clearly missing from the RT display in the web interface (for example,
Custom Fields). I have included the output from running the database
scripts below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the
Wiki and mail list archives and found similar threads but no solutions.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!
Jennifer

Ah, hehe, I cant remember if I cut and paste or rewrote any of it (I did
edit the code after pasting)

But if that is the case, wouldn’t that return false on all accounts and
never send the email?From: Drew Barnes [mailto:barnesaw@ucrwcu.rwc.uc.edu]

Assuming you’ve cut and pasted fro your scrip,
$self->TrasactionObj should be $self->TransactionObj

Again,

The problem is the transactionobj-type = create that’s causing the issue

The regex part of the scrip works fine

I want to know why its sending on all transactions, not just on the ticket
create part.

Hi,

Thanks, the reason I have it in 2 separate if statements is that the
don’t
send one contains a portion of the send one, hence if its dontsend don’t
send, but if its only send, then send it. If I put send first, it will

match

in both cases.

The problem is the transaction create part, it is sending emails even if

the

priority is updated, or a comment is added where as I only want it when

the

ticket is created.

Hi,

I want to do a custom condition for a scrip, which will basically be
OnCreate and Requestor address matches “blah” then send the auto reply.

At the moment I have

if ($self->TrasactionObj->Type =~ ‘Create’){
if ($self->TicketObj->RequestorAddresses =~ /dontsend/){
return (undef);
}
if ($self->TicketObj->RequestorAddresses !~ /send/){
return (undef);
}
}else{
return (undef)
}
return(1);

but that seems to be sending the auto reply on every transaction, not

just

when the ticket is created.

Im guessing im using the wrongs TransactionObj-> Type

Hi,

Is there any way to search for deleted tickets. No specific criteria, just
the queue name and status = deleted.

Thanks

Hi Les,

This made sense, thank you.

Hi Ruslan,

Thank you for the steps below. And for the NOTE of caution about breaking
the upgrade scripts. Very helpful.

I tried this approach on a development server running RH4, and the upgrade
scripts ran without errors.

Unfortunately, apache is not finding the RT htdocs on that machine, so I
haven’t been able to test results yet.

I will try these steps on the server I’m building for our upgrade next
week. They wanted me to test RH4 first.

Thank you again,
Jennifer
