Upgrading a GeoMapFish application

Preliminary work

Depending on your current installation, some preliminary work is necessary before applying the update steps via scripts.

GMF 1.X to GMF 2.2

If you are updating directly from a GeoMapFish 1.X version to GeoMapFish 2.2, you need to follow the update instructions for GeoMapFish 2.1 first before proceeding with the update to GeoMapFish 2.2. See 2.1 upgrade instructions.

updating your project environment

Before upgrading your application to a newer version of c2cgeoportal, you should make sure that your project environment is up-to-date with regard to your project repository and with regard to the required dependencies. For this, execute the following commands:

make -f <makefile> update
make -f <makefile> build

Where <makefile> is your user make file (<user>.mk).

Upgrading the application

In the setup.py be sure not to specify a c2cgeoportal version, because it will prevent the installation of the new c2cgeoportal egg.

Verify that you have in your project.yaml.mako file the following template_vars: package, srid, extent, apache_vhost, for example:

...
template_vars:
    package: ${package}
    srid: ${srid}
    extent: 489246, 78873, 837119, 296543
    apache_vhost: <apache_vhost>

We consider that your makefile is named <instanceid>.mk, if it is not the case add in your Makefile UPGRADE_MAKE_FILE = <user.mk>

Note

For Windows:

You should add UPGRADE_ARGS += --windows in your <package>.mk file.

To upgrade, run:

export VERSION=<target_version>
make -f <makefile> upgrade

Note

For Windows:

You should replace export VERSION=<target_version> with SET VERSION=<target_version>.

Where <makefile> is your user Makefile (<user>.mk), <target_version> is the version that you wish to upgrade to.

And follow the instructions.

Note

For Windows:

If you are using Windows, you will have to execute some steps prior to the instructions hereunder:

• Uninstall manually the old c2cgeoportal egg:

  .build/venv/Scripts/pip uninstall c2cgeoportal

• Clean / remove the generated files:

  make -f <makefile> clean

• Change the version in setup.py and CONST_requirements.txt to the version you wish to install.

• Build your application:

  make -f <makefile> build

• Put your modifications under git revision:

  git add setup.py

  git add CONST_requirements.txt

  git commit -m "Upgrade c2cgeoportal version"

  git push <remote> <branch>

• Follow the Windows instructions hereunder, note that you will have to use .build\venv\Scripts\... instead of .build\venv\bin\... in all given commands

Upgrade the database

The database will be automatically upgraded during the upgrade process.

To upgrade only the database you can use alembic directly.

The help:

.build/venv/bin/alembic --help

Upgrade the main schema:

.build/venv/bin/alembic --config alembic.ini upgrade head

Upgrade the static schema:

.build/venv/bin/alembic --config alembic_static.ini upgrade head

From CGXP to ngeo

Layer definition for ngeo clients is separate and different from layer definition for CGXP clients, see Layers for details. To migrate the layer definitions from the CGXP structure to the ngeo structure, you can use the script .build/venv/bin/themev1tov2.

Text translations for ngeo clients are separate and different from text translations for CGXP clients. To migrate the text translations from CGXP to ngeo, you can use the script .build/venv/bin/l10nv1tov2. For example, for converting french texts the script can be used as follows:

.build/venv/bin/l10nv1tov2 fr geoportal/static/js/Proj/Lang/fr.js    geoportal/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/geoportal-client.po
