MigratingToOpsV02

Steps

To upgrade to ops v0.2 a couple of steps have to be taken:

• Upgrade the ops ldap schema and migrate the old data.
• Update the webservices.
• install the new timesheet client for sunbird.

Upgrading ldap

• Download the new ops schema
• Copy it to your schema directory, eg /etc/ldap/schemas
• Edit your slapd.conf so it incldes the new schema and no longer the old one.
• restart ldap

Now you are ready to migrate the data. All old task attributes need to be removed and get their own sub-entry right under the projects:

• Project1
  • task1
  • task2

This gives us the ability to disable tasks that are already completed. To make it easier to migrate the tasks a tool has been written. Use it like so:

• Backup the current ldap tree(including all the data) to an ldif file to be sure.
• Download the taskConverter
• Extract the zip file and edit the task.properties.example file to fit your situation.
• Run the taskconverter like:

  java -jar !OpsTaskConverter.jar task.properties.example

Update the webservices

• Download the new webservices
• save your old configuration (WEB-INF/opsproject.properties)
• Undeploy the old webservices and deploy the new.
• Now you can either edit the new configuration or copy your old config back. Just make sure that if you do you add the following (new) options to the file:

#the objectclass of a projecttask
projecttask_ldap_objectclass = opsProjectTask
#the name/identifier of a projectTask
projecttask_name_attribute = name
#the status attribute of a projecttask
projecttask_status_attribute = status

Install the new timesheet plugin.

You can either download the new plugin manually or update it through the update system under tools -> extensions.
After installing the new plugin, you can select which task you want to see when editing/creating an event under tools-> OpsTimesheet Options -> Filters.
