QMetry Reports Upgrade from v8.11.2 and above

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

Pre-requisites

• As a part of this upgrade - which introduces reports sync via QMetry UI, it is required to open port 8080 on the reports server to accommodate the changes as per upgrade steps 8, 9, and 10.

• Proceed with this upgrade ONLY IF your current QMetry Reports version is v8.11.2 or above.

Upgrade Steps

Step 1: Download Required Files

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

• Download the QMetryReports8230.zip file on your report server's /opt directory once you receive the report upgrade package.

Step 2. Check the running containers using the following command

sudo su -
docker ps

If they are not seen running, start them using the command:

docker start qmetryreport_db qmetry-reports 

Step 3. Copy the QMetryReports8230.zip into the docker container from the server's /opt directory using the following commands, and get into the container.

cd /opt
docker cp QMetryReports8230.zip qmetry-reports:/opt
docker exec -it qmetry-reports bash

Step 4. Unzip the new reports upgrade zip QMetryReports8230.zip copied under Docker’s/opt directory, and go to the unzipped folder.

cd /opt
unzip QMetryReports8230.zip
cd QMetryReports8230

Step 5. Execute the Report Upgrade .jar file

java -jar LiveReportUpgrade.jar

Step 6. Upon executing the LiveReportUpgrade.jar with the above commands, you will be asked the following questions:

• Wait for the .jar to finish executing.

• Type exit to exit Docker.

Step 7. Restart Reports Services

docker restart qmetryreport_db qmetry-reports

Step 8. Configure Force Sync of Reports and Trigger a Sync (Post Upgrade Step)

• Under the Sync Data tab, set up the Report Data Sync from your reports server to QMetry Reporting. 

  • Report Server URL: This should be set to your report server domain URL followed by port 8080 as shown below. Ensure port 8080 is open on the reports server.

  • Click on Test to ensure a successful connection and then hit "Test & Save".

  • Hit "Sync Data" to start Reports Data Sync.

Note: "Sync Data" should be run after the upgrade. The time taken to sync depends on the amount of data in QMetry. Sync Progress and Status can be monitored as shown in the screenshot below. QMetry custom reports remain inaccessible when syncing is in progress. The sync process is recommended to be run only during off-peak hours.

Users can start using QMetry Reports when the sync is completed.

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