WinS: Upgrade Graphlytic

Special upgrade steps

Unless otherwise stated in this chapter, upgrade to any version can be done by following the step described in the Common upgrade steps chapter.

Upgrade from Graphlytic 2.x to Graphlytic 3.x

  1. Follow the Common upgrade steps

  2. Configure and reindex the Node fulltext index

  3. Optional: Drop the old (Graphlytic 2.x) manual fulltext index from Neo4j. Assuming the index was used only for Graphlytic purposes it's safe to remove it and spare some disk and RAM. Use this cypher to remove the index:

    CALL db.index.explicit.drop('node_fulltext')

Common upgrade steps

Follow these steps for standard Graphlytic upgrade:

  1. stop Graphlytic and Neo4j (see WinS: 5. Stop Graphlytic)

  2. backup configuration files or start scripts you have changed.

    1. /conf/*.*

    2. all folders set in the graphlytic.conf file or other folder defined in WinS: Important directories

    3. run scripts

  3. unzip Graphlytic installation file "graphlytic-<version>.zip" into your Graphlytic's home directory (for example: c:\graphlytic\) and confirm all overwrites of files from prior installation (for example: graphlytic.war).

  4. restore backed up files from step 2.

  5. start Neo4j and Graphlytic (see WinS: 4. Start Graphlytic)
