Info

The downtime is limited to the time taken for switching databases in the production environment.

Upgrading the databases

You can use the same databases that you used for WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 with WSO2 EI 6.5.0. However, you need to apply the changes discussed below. Once these changes are done, you can connect your WSO2 EI 6.5.0 instances to the old databases.

As per the Security Advisory (WSO2-2017-0345), WSO2 EI 6.5.0 uses OAEP for data encryption in addition to the RSA algorithm (which is used in WSO2 ESB 5.0.0). Therefore, the internally-encrypted data in your current databases (such as datasource configurations, syslog passwords, user store configurations, keystore registry entries, service security policies, event publisher configurations, event receiver configurations, and event sink configurations), as well as data encrypted using secure vault (such as plain text passwords in configuration files and synapse configurations) should be re-encrypted using OAEP. 

  • To re-encrypt all internally-encrypted data using OAEP:

    1. Get the latest WUM updates (later than the update level released on 18/04/2018) for your WSO2 ESB 5.0.0. This will give you a new WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 distribution with the latest updates.

    2. Connect the WUM-updated ESB distribution to your existing databases (which are used for registry data, and user management data):

      titleConnecting to the database

      1. Open the master-datasources.xml file (stored in the <WUM_UPDATED_ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/ directory) and update the parameters given below.

        Tip

        By default, registry and user management data are stored in one database and is configured in the master-datasources.xml file. If you have separate databases for registry and user management data, you may have separate datasource configurations.

        ElementDescription
        urlThe URL of the database.
        username and passwordThe name and password of the database user.
        driverClassNameThe class name of the database driver.

      2. Open the registry.xml file (stored in the <WUM_UPDATED_ESB_HOME>/repository/conf directory) and specify the datasource name of the registry database.

        Code Block
        <dbConfig name="wso2registry">    
    <dataSource>jdbc/MY_DATASOURCE_NAME</dataSource>
</dbConfig>

      3. If a JDBC user store is used in your ESB, open the user-mgt.xml file (stored in the <WUM_UPDATED_ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/ directory), and update the following database connection parameters under the <UserStoreManager class="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManager"> section.

        ElementDescription
        urlThe URL of the database.
        username and passwordThe name and password of the database user.
        driverClassNameThe class name of the database driver.

        Further, update the system administrator configurations and the datasource name in the user-mgt.xml file.

      4. Encrypt the plain text passwords that you added to the configuration files (master-datasources.xml, user-mgt.xml, etc.).

    3. Be sure that the carbon.properties file is included in the <WUM_UPDATED_ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/ directory with the following parameter:

      Code Block
      org.wso2.CipherTransformation=RSA/ECB/OAEPwithSHA1andMGF1Padding
    4. Start the WUM-updated ESB server. This will re-encrypt the data in the databases.
  • To re-encrypt plain text strings using OAEP:

    1. Connect the ESB profile of WSO2 EI to your existing databases (which are used for registry data, and user management data):

      titleConnecting to the database

      1. Open the master-datasources.xml file (stored in the <EI_HOME>/conf/datasources/ directory) and update the parameters given below.

        Tip

        By default, registry and user management data are stored in one database and is configured in the master-datasources.xml file. If you have separate databases for registry and user management data, you may need separate datasource configurations.

        ElementDescription
        urlThe URL of the database.
        username and passwordThe name and password of the database user.
        driverClassNameThe class name of the database driver.

      2. Open the registry.xml file (stored in the <EI_HOME>/conf directory) and specify the datasource name.

        Code Block
        <dbConfig name="wso2registry">    
    <dataSource>jdbc/MY_DATASOURCE_NAME</dataSource>
</dbConfig>

      3. If a JDBC user store is used, open the user-mgt.xml file (stored in the <EI_HOME>/conf/ directory), and update the following database connection parameters under the <UserStoreManager class="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManager"> section.

        ElementDescription
        urlThe URL of the database.
        username and passwordThe name and password of the database user.
        driverClassNameThe class name of the database driver.

        Further, update the system administrator configurations and the datasource name in the user-mgt.xml file.

  <KeyAlias>wso2carbon</KeyAlias>
  <KeyPassword>wso2carbon</KeyPassword>
</InternalKeyStore>

         See Configuring Keystores in WSO2 Products for more information.

    3. Create the <EI_HOME>/migration/ directory, copy the migration-conf.properties file, and update the following values:

      keystore.identity.locationThe location of the keystore that is used for data encryption in WSO2 EI 6.5.0. By default, this is <EI_HOME>/repository/resources/security/wso2carbon.jks.
      keystore.identity.key.passwordThe key password of the keystore. By default, this is wso2carbon.
      admin.user.nameThe user name of the system administrator.
    4. Copy the migration JAR file to the <EI_HOME>/dropins/ directory.

    5. Start the ESB profile of WSO2 EI:

      1. Open a terminal and navigate to the <EI_HOME>/bin/ directory.

      2. Execute the product start up script with the '-Dmigrate' command as shown below.

       The relevant data is now re-encrypted.

    6. Once the migration is successful, stop the server and delete the migration JAR (org.wso2.carbon.ei.migration-6.5.0.jar) from the <EI_HOME>/dropins/ directory.

Migrating the ESB

Follow the instructions given below to upgrade from WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to WSO2 EI 6.5.0.

Migrating ESB configurations

Note

 Do not copy configuration files directly between servers. Instead, update the files manually.

To migrate all the required folders, files, libraries, etc. from WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to the ESB profile of WSO2 EI 6.5.0:

  1. Copy the database connector JAR files stored in the <ESB_HOME>/repository/components/lib directory to the <EI_HOME>/lib directory.

  2. You need to migrate the keystores and truststores used in the WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory to the same directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0. 

    Tip

    Note that you have already completed this keystore migration before upgrading the ESB databases.

  3. 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 same directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.
  4. If there are any third-party libraries used with WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 that you want to migrate, copy the relevant libraries to WSO2 EI 6.5.0: 
    • 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.

To migrate the configurations from WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to the ESB profile of WSO2 EI 6.5.0:

Info

Before you begin, note the following changes that affect your configuration files:

  • HTTP content negotiation is enabled in the ESB profile since WSO2 EI 6.0.0. This setting transforms the message (at the time of building the message) according to the content type specified using the 'Accept' header of the request message. You can disable this behavior by setting the following parameter to 'false' in the axis2.xml file (stored in the <EI_HOME>/conf/axis2/ directory). Read more about Working with Message Builders and Formatters.

    Code Block
    <parameter name="httpContentNegotiation">false</parameter>
  • When an XML payload converts to JSON in WSO2 EI 6.5.0, null and empty values are handled as explained in Working with JSON Message Payloads.

  • The following configuration files have changed from WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to WSO2 EI 6.5.0.

    • user-mgt.xml
    • jndi.properties
  1. Update the configuration files with information of the migrated keystores and truststores. See Configuring Keystores in WSO2 products for more information. Note that some keystore configurations were already updated before upgrading the ESB databases.
  2. Go to the <EI_HOME>/conf/datasources directory and update the Carbon datasource configuration in the master-datasources.xml file. Note that some configurations in this file were already updated before upgrading the ESB databases. For instructions, see Changing the Carbon Database and select your database type.

  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. Note that some configurations in these files were already updated before upgrading the ESB databases. The instructions are available in Changing the Carbon Database.

  4. 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 6.5.0 accordingly. For example, check the configurations related to external user stores, caching, mounting, transports, etc.

Migrating ESB artifacts

Info
iconfalse

Before you begin, note the following changes that may affect your ESB artifacts.

  • If you have created a messages store in your configuration and configured the provider path as repository/conf/jndi.properties in your ESB 5.0.0 instance, this needs to be updated with the jndi.properties file path in EI 6.5.0 (which is conf/jndi.properties).
  • If you have used the $ctx function inline (in the Payload Factory mediator) to get property values, you need to change this to the full XPath. The $ctx function or the get-property() function can be used inside the arguments (args) tags to get property values. Inline $ctx support (in the payload factory) has been deprecated since WSO2 EI 6.4.0.
  • From WSO2 EI 6.4.0 onwards, the XSLT mediator writes response messages to the JSON stream. Note that in WSO2 ESB 5.0.0, the XSLT mediator was not doing any changes to the JSON stream after message transformation.
  • From WSO2 EI 6.4.0 onwads, there are validations affecting the Enrich mediator, which prevents the source and target in the message body.

  • From WSO2 EI 6.4.0 onwards, if you have specified an XPath value in your mediation sequence, the response message generated by the ESB will include the element tags of your XPath value. For example, if your XPath value is "//faultdescription", the response message will be <faultdescription>DESCRIPTION</faultdescription>. If you want the response message to contain only the DESCRIPTION, you need to specify the XPath value as "//faultdescription/text()".

  • From WSO2 EI 6.4.0 onwards, if you are using the MailTo transport to send emails through a mediation sequence, note that the email sender specified in the mediation sequence overrides the email sender configured in the axis2.xml file.
  • If you have used json-path expression without the dot notation ( ex: $key ), you need to change them by adding the dot after the dollar sign. ( ex: $.key )
  • If you have used json-path expression with recursive descent ( ex: $..key ), it will return an array (even the resultset has just one element), whereas in ESB it returns just the value when there is only one matching element.

You should manually deploy the Composite Application Archive (CAR) files that you have in WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 to WSO2 EI 6.5.0.

  • To migrate deployment artifacts including message flow configurations, copy the required Synapse artifacts from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/synapse-configs/default directory to the same directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.
  • To migrate connector artifacts: 
    • Create a folder named synapse-libs in the <EI_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/synapse-configs/default/ directory, 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 WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 distribution if no connectors are used.
    • Copy the JARs from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/synapse-configs/default/imports directory to the same directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.
  • If you have custom artifacts created in the <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/ directory, copy them to the same directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.

Migrating tenant artifacts (ESB)

If multitenancy is used, copy the tenant artifacts of the ESB from the <ESB_HOME>/repository/tenants directory to the same directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.

Note

You may not be able to access the tenant domain after migrating to EI 6.5.0. 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:

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


Migrating the ESB Analytics

Follow the instructions given below to upgrade ESB Analytics to the Analytics profile of WSO2 EI 6.5.0. This migration is necessary only if Analytics was used with your ESB 5.0.0 installation.

Migrating Analytics configurations 

Note

 Do not copy configuration files directly between servers. Instead, update the files manually.

To migrate all the required folders, files, libraries, etc.:

  1. Copy the database connector JAR files stored in the <ESB_5.0.0_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/components/lib directory to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/components/lib directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.
  2. Copy the keystores and truststores from the <ESB_5.0.0_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/resources/security directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.
  3. If you have secondary user stores created for WSO2 ESB Analytics 5.0.0, you need to copy the 'userstore' folder in the <ESB_5.0.0_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/ directory to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/deployment/server/ directory in WSO2 EI 6.5.0.

Anchor
updating_configs_analytics
updating_configs_analytics
To migrate the configurations:

  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. For instructions, see Changing the Carbon Database and select your database type.
  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. The instructions are available in Changing the Carbon Database.
  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 6.5.0 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.

    Info

    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 attribute to false in the same file as shown below.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <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>

  8. Enable WSO2 EI 6.5.0 to publish ESB statistics to the Analytics profile by following the instructions in Publishing ESB Analytics Data.

    Info

    Note that in EI 6.5.0, you need to configure the <EI_HOME>/conf/carbon.xml file to enable the ESB server to publish statistics, whereas in WSO2 ESB, you need to configure the <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/MessageFlowConfigurationPublisher.xml and <ESB_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/MessageFlowStatisticsPublisher.xml file instead.

  9. Check for any other configurations that were done for WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 Analytics based on your solution and update the configurations in WSO2 EI 6.5.0 accordingly. For example, check the configurations related to external user stores, caching, mounting, transports etc.

Migrating tenant artifacts (Analytics)

If you are using multitenancy, copy the <ESB_5.0.0_ANALYTICS_HOME>/repository/tenants directory to the <EI_HOME>/wso2/analytics/repository/tenants directory of WSO2 EI 6.5.0.
