Type of Upgrade
NOTE: applies to In-place and New Folder when using H2 database for IAM: Upgrading the Authentication Component
One for Identity Access Manager (IAM)
One for Enterprise Dashboard (EDB)
One for Registry (REG)
By default, Apache Derby databases are used when verifying out of the box for the Enterprise Dashboard and Registry. For IAM the default is H2, Keycloak's own embedded database.
To configure to an external database for each, you will require own database for each component. Multiple IAMs, EDBs and REGs cannot share the same databases.
Recommended size for each:
IAM: Requires its own unique database and must have at least 25 GB of storage
EDB: Requires its own unique database and must have at least 50 GB of storage
REG: Requires its own unique database and must have at least 500 GB of storage
Find out if your DBA needs the DDL to build each database. It is cleaner for DevTest to create the tables, and the user would just need DBA Authority to initially start, but then after tables are created, the permissions can be downgraded. The DDL for IAM is located in DEVTEST_HOME\IdentityAccessManager\database\ddl. The DDL for the Enterprise Dashboard, Registry are located in DEVTEST_HOME\database\ddl.
NOTE: The Registry database has two DDL files to run. database.dll and database_cai.dll. Where database is the database you will be using.
If your DBA is not creating the tables and letting DevTest do this, the user needs to have DBA authority the first time.
After referring and reviewing all the above information in this article, prepare the upgrade plan as per attached spreadsheet template and open a Support Case for a pre-Upgrade review of your plan on how you are planning to do your upgrade.
See attached spreadsheet for upgrade checklist.
1. DO NOT apply previous version patches to DevTest 10.8.0. To find out if the previous version patches are included in DevTest 10.8.0 release, review the Release Notes
2. DO NOT copy a previous versions property files to the current version. If there are properties you need from a previous version, copy and paste each property from the old to the new version properties file.
