Steps to Upgrade MySQL to v8.0.40

Pre-requisites
  • MySql version of QMetry Reports and QMetry Application should be 8.0.33.

  • Ensure that QMetry is not in use and there are no ongoing operations or traffic on QMetry.

  • Please ensure that docker is authenticated in case of Online installation.

Steps to upgrade MySQL to v8.0.40

In case of Offline Installation

Follow the steps to download and restore the QMetry Database image. After the image is successfully restored, you can then move forward with the next steps.

Download and restore the QMetry Database Image

  1. Download the Container Image of QMetry or Report DB

    Perform the following steps on a machine with internet access to download the container image:

    • Log in to the container repository. If you do not have the credentials, contact QMetry Support.

      docker login
    • Download and save the QMetry Database container image by executing these commands:

      docker pull qmetry/qmetry:appdb8040
      docker pull qmetry/qmetry:reportdb8040 
      docker images
      docker save -o qmetrydb.tar qmetry/qmetry:appdb8040
      docker save -o reportdb8.tar qmetry/qmetry:reportdb8040 
      ls
    • Transfer the qmetrydb.tar, reportdb8.tar file to the host server where the installation will take place.

  2. Restore the Container Image of QMetry DB

    Restore the container image on the target machine where the installation will be carried out:

    • If you are logged in as the "root" user, execute the following command. If not, skip this step:

      sudo su
    • Navigate to the directory containing the qmetrydb.tar,reportdb8.tar file and load the container image with the following command:

      docker load -i qmetrydb.tar
      docker load -i reportdb8.tar
    • Verify that the container images have been restored correctly by executing:

      docker images

Step 1: IMPORTANT: Backup Your Existing QMetry Database

Before proceeding, back up existing “qmetry” database. Adjust the username, password, and backup file location as needed (default location is /opt).

docker exec qmetryapp_db sh -c 'exec mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --triggers --routines --hex-blob --single-transaction --lock-tables --no-create-db qmetry' > /opt/qmetry_backup_<date>.sql
Example 14. 
docker exec qmetryapp_db sh -c 'exec mysqldump -uroot -pqmetry --triggers --routines --hex-blob --single-transaction --lock-tables --no-create-db qmetry' > /opt/qmetry_backup_2023-01-01.sql



Step 2: Stop QMetry Services

Stop QMetry app and report containers.

docker stop qmetry_app_1
docker stop qmetry-reports

Step 3. Extract AppDBUpgrade.zip.

Copy the AppDBUpgrade.zip file received from QMetry Support to the server hosting the QMetry database container. Navigate to the directory containing the file and execute the following command:

  1. Unzip and Navigate to the AppDBUpgrade directory

    unzip AppDBUpgrade.zip
    cd AppDBUpgrade 
  2. Grant execute permissions and run the upgrade script:

    chmod 777 dbupgrade.sh
    ./dbupgrade.sh

    Once the script starts executing, it will prompt you to enter the following parameters:

    Options

    Details

    Default Value

    Example

    Enter QMetry database password for root user

    Enter QMetry Application Database Password for the root user.

    -

    QMetry@123

Step 4: Upgrade the Report Database:

Copy the ReportDBUpgrade.zip file received from QMetry Support to the server hosting both report and report-database container. Navigate to the directory containing the file and execute the following command:

  1. Unzip and Navigate to the ReportDBUpgrade directory

    Unzip ReportDBUpgrade.zip
    cd ReportDBUpgrade
  2. Grant execute permissions and run the upgrade script:

    chmod 777 dbupgrade.sh
    ./dbupgrade.sh

    Once the installation initiates, it will prompt you to enter the following parameters:

    Options

    Details

    Default Value

    Example

    Enter Report database password for root user

    Enter password for QMetry Reports Database.

    -

    QMetryreports@!Nf0#

    Enter Report database schema

    Enter Database schema name for QMetry Reports Database.

Step 5: Restart QMetry Services:

Start the QMetry app and report containers.

docker start qmetry_app_1
docker start qmetry-reports

Step 6: Validate the Upgrade:

Check the QMetry app and report to ensure data integrity.

Step 7: Check Report sync functionality working or not.

These steps will help ensure a smooth upgrade from MySQL 8.x to MySQL 8.0.40.
