See the following topics for instructions:

Upgrading the database

In WSO2 EI 6.1.0, you can use the same databases that you used for WSO2 ESB 5.0.0. Therefore, you can simply restore the backup of the existing databases to use with WSO2 EI 6.1.0.

Migrating the configurations

Migrating configuration for the Integration profile

Follow the steps given below to migrate the configurations from WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to the Integration profile of WSO2 EI 6.1.0.

1. Copy the database connector JAR files stored in the <ESB_HOME>/repository/components/lib directory to the <EI_HOME>/lib directory.
2. Copy the keystores and truststores used in WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory to the <EI_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory in WSO2 EI 6.1.0.
3. Update the configuration files:
   1. Update the configuration files with information of the migrated keystores and truststores. See Configuring Keystores in WSO2 products for more information.
   2. Go to the <EI_HOME>/conf/datasources directory and update the Carbon datasource configuration in the master-datasources.xml file with the details of the Carbon database.

   3. Go to the <EI_HOME>/conf directory and update the datasource references in the user-mgt.xml and registry.xml files to match the updated configurations in the master-datasources.xml file.

4. If you have secondary user stores created for WSO2 ESB 5.0.0, you need to copy the 'userstore' folder in the <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/ directory to the <EI_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/ directory in WSO2 EI 6.1.0.
5. If there are any third-party libraries used with WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 that you want to migrate, copy them to WSO2 EI 6.1.0: 
   • If you have used JMS libraries, JDBC libraries, etc., copy the files from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/components/lib directory to the <EI_HOME>/lib directory.
   • If you have used OSGi bundles such as SVN kit etc., copy the contents of the <ESB_HOME>/repository/components/dropins directory to the <EI_HOME>/dropins directory.

6. Check for any other configurations that were done for WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 based on your solution, and update the configurations in WSO2 EI 6.1.0 accordingly. For example, configurations related to external user stores, caching, mounting, transports, etc.

   Note

   The following files have changed from ESB 5.0.0 to WSO2 EI 6.1.0:

   • axis2.xml
   • axis2_nhttp.xml
   • axis2_pt.xml
   • tenant-axis2.xml
   • cache.xml
   • config-validation.xml
   • logging-bridge.properties
   • osgi-debug.option
   • cloud-services-desc.xml
   • authenticators.xml
   • ciper-tool.properties
   • catalina-server.xml
   • carbon.xml
   • identity.xml
   • nhttp.properties
   • passthru-http.properties
   • synapse.properties
   • synapse-handlers.xml
   • user-mgt.xml
   • jndi.properties
     

   Do not copy and paste the configuration files as there are some changes from ESB 5.0.0 to EI 6.1.0. You need to update the configuration files based on the usage.

Migrating configurations of ESB Analytics to WSO2 EI Analytics 

Follow the steps given below.

1. Copy the database connector JAR files stored in the <ESB_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/components/lib directory of WSO2 ESB Analytics 5.0.0 to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/components/lib directory of the Analytics profile in WSO2 EI 6.1.0.
2. Copy the keystores and truststores used in WSO2 ESB Analytics 5.0.0 from the <ESB_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory of WSO2 ESB Analytics 5.0.0 to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/resources/security directory in WSO2 EI 6.1.0.
3. Update the configuration files.
   1. Update the configuration files with information of the migrated keystores and truststores. See Configuring Keystores in WSO2 products for more information.
   2. Go to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf/datasources directory and update the Carbon datasource configuration in the master-datasources.xml file with the details of the Carbon database.
   3. Go to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf/datasources directory and update the datasource configuration in the analytics-datasources.xml file with the details of the Analytics-specific databases.
   4. Go to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf directory and update the datasource references in the user-mgt.xml and registry.xml files to match the updated configurations in the master-datasources.xml file.
   5. Go to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf/analytics/ directory and update the rdbms-config.xml file according to the configurations in the same file of your previous Analytics installation.
   6. Go to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf/data-bridge directory in WSO2 EI 6.1.0 and update the configuration files according to the configurations in the previous installation.

   7. Go to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/conf directory and update the event-processor.xml file according to the configurations in the previous installation.

      If you enable the HA mode for ESB Analytics by setting the <mode name="HA" enable="true"> property in the event-processor.xml file, state persistence is enabled by default. If there is no real-time use case that requires any state information after starting the cluster, you should disable event persistence by setting the persistence attributeto false in the same file as shown below.

      <persistence enable="false">
          <persistenceIntervalInMinutes>15</persistenceIntervalInMinutes>
          <persisterSchedulerPoolSize>10</persisterSchedulerPoolSize>
          <persister class="org.wso2.carbon.event.processor.core.internal.persistence.FileSystemPersistenceStore">
              <property key="persistenceLocation">cep_persistence</property>
          </persister>
      </persistence>

4. If you have secondary user stores created for WSO2 ESB Analytics 5.0.0, you need to copy the 'userstore' folder in the <ESB_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/ directory to the <EI_ANALYTICS_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/deployment/server/ directory in WSO2 EI 6.1.0.
5. Check for any other configurations that were done for WSO2 ESB Analytics 5.0.0 based on your solution and update the configurations in WSO2 EI 6.1.0 accordingly. For example, configurations related to external user stores, caching, mounting, transports etc.

Migrating artifacts

You should manually deploy the Composite Application Archive (CAR) files that you have in WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to WSO2 EI 6.1.0. If you have a mediator packed in a CAR, all the artifacts using that mediator should also be included in the same CAR. See Deploying Composite Applications in the Server in the WSO2 administration guide for further details.

• To migrate deployment artifacts including message flow configurations, copy the required Synapse artifacts from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/synapse-configs/default directory of WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to WSO2 EI 6.1.0.
• To migrate any connector artifacts:
  • Create a folder named synapse-libs in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/synapse-configs/default/ directory of WSO2 EI 6.1.0, and copy the JARs from the directory by the same name in WSO2 ESB 5.0.0. Note that this directory will not exist in your ESB distribution if no connectors are used.
  • Copy the JARs from the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/synapse-configs/default/imports directory in WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to the same directory in WSO2 EI 6.1.0.
• If you have custom artifacts created in the <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/ directory of WSO2 ESB 5.0.0, copy them to the same directory in WSO2 EI 6.1.0.

Migrating tenant artifacts

If multitenancy is used,

• Copy the tenant artifacts of ESB from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/tenants directory to the <EI_HOME>/repository/tenants directory of WSO2 EI 6.1.0.

  You may not be able to access the tenant domain after migrating to WSO2 EI 6.1.0. To fix this issue, change the tenant’s main sequence located in <EI_HOME>/repository/tenants/1/synapse-configs/default/sequences/main.xml as below:

  <sequence xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="main">
     <in>
        <log/>
     </in>
     <out>
        <send/>
     </out>
  </sequence>

• If you are migrating ESB Analytics to the Analytics profile of WSO2 EI, copy the <ESB_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/tenants directory to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/tenants directory of WSO2 EI 6.1.0.

Starting the profiles

Once you have completed the migration, you can start the Integration profile of WSO2 EI. For details see Running the Product.
