In this guide, we will run you through upgrading QMetry Test Management Reports in your environment. These steps are to be followed on your QMetry Reports server hosted on the Linux machine.

Steps to upgrade existing QMetry Reports to the latest version

Upgrade Steps

Step 1: Download Required Files.

• You can generate a request on QMetry Support Portal,  to get the latest version of QMetry Reports.

• Download the QMetryReportsUpgrade.zip file on your report server's /opt directory once you receive the report upgrade package.

Step 2. Check the container name using the following command.

• sudo su

• docker ps -a --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Image}}"

Here, if the QMetry Reports Container name is different than 'qmetry-reports', then please perform Step 4 otherwise you can skip that step.

Step 3. Go to Upgrade Script.

• Go to the folder where QMetryReportsUpgrade.zip was downloaded

  • cd /opt

• Unzip QMetryReportsUpgrade.zip 

  • unzip QMetryReportsUpgrade.zip 

• Go to QMetryReportsUpgrade folder

  • cd QMetryReportsUpgrade/

Step 4. Modifying the container name.

• Open the file – upgrade.sh in edit mode

  • vi upgrade.sh

• Update the file for changed value with the respective name of the container

  • Press i to change the file mode to insert

  • Update the variable value in upgrade.sh files as per the existing docker name in system, which is fetched in Step# 2.

    • OLD_CONTAINER_NAME=<existing docker container's name>

  • Press Esc, and type :wq to save the changes

Step 5. Give permission to upgrade.sh file through the following commands.

• chmod +x upgrade.sh

• sh upgrade.sh

Step 6. While running the script it will ask for verifying the QMetry App Database and QMetry Reports Database connection configurations that were in place earlier and take the next step accordingly.

• Press 'y' – If the database configurations shown are correct and modifications are not required in that.

• Press 'n' – If the database configurations shown are incorrect and modifications are required in that.

  • You will be asked to enter the new configuration details.

• Press 'e' – If you don't want to continue the upgrade process and want to exit.

If you have pressed 'y' or 'n' then in that case after pressing an option you will be asked to enter the number of CPU's and Memory to allocate.
Once that is entered wait for the script execution to complete.
Note: Depending on your data this process can take time as it will be performing full QMetry Data Sync. Users can continue to use QMetry Application during this time. But QMetry custom reports remain inaccessible when the syncing is in progress.

If you are facing any issues during the upgrade process, kindly generate a support ticket on Support Portal for assistance.
