Restoring a CAS 11.1 backup into CAS 11.2

To restore a CAS backup into CAS 11.2:

  1. If you modified <install path>\CAS\workspace\conf\DocumentConversionFilters.xml, make the following changes:

    1. Open the backed up copy of DocumentConversionFilters.xml in a text editor.

    2. Copy your include and exclude filters from the backup.

    3. Open DocumentConversionFilters.xml of your CAS 11.2 installation in a text editor and add the include and exclude filters.

    4. Save and close DocumentConversionFilters.xml.

  2. If you modified <install path>\CAS\workspace\conf\jetty.xml in 11.1, make the following changes:

    1. Open the backed up copy of jetty.xml in a text editor.

    2. Open the newer version of jetty.xml in a text editor.

    3. Copy your specific customizations into the 11.2 version of jetty.xml.

    4. Save and close the 11.2 version of jetty.xml.

  3. If you had any CAS plug-ins installed in 11.1, copy the directory containing the plug-in JAR or JARs from the backup location to <install path>/CAS/<version>/lib/cas-server-plugins.

  4. If a crawl configuration contains custom references to CAS version numbers, for example, in paths to output files, then modify the paths as appropriate, and save and close the crawl configuration.

  5. Restart the CAS Service.

  6. If you created unmanaged Record Store instances or if you modified the configuration of a Record Store instance in 11.1, import these Record Store instances including their configurations and contents into 11.2 by doing the following:

    1. Open a Command Prompt and navigate to <install path>\CAS\<new version>\bin on Windows or <install path>/CAS/<new version>/bin on UNIX.

    2. Re-create each Record Store instance by running component-manager-cmd and the create-component task for each Record Store instance. The syntax for the create-component task is: 

      component-manager-cmd create-component -n RecordStoreInstanceName
 -t RecordStore [-h HostName] [-p PortNumber]

    3. For each Record Store instance, run recordstore-cmd and the set-configuration task. Specify the path to an XML file created during backup for the Record Store instance configuration.

      The syntax for the set-configuration task is: 

      recordstore-cmd set-configuration -a RecordStoreInstanceName
 -f ConfigurationFileName.xml [-h HostName] [-n] [-p PortNumber]

    4. To restore existing 11.1 data to 11.2, run recordstore-cmd and the write task for each Record Store instance. Specify the path to an XML file with the exported contents of the Record Store.

      The syntax for the write task is: 

      recordstore-cmd.bat write -a RecordStoreInstanceName
 -f RecordStoreuOtputFileName.xml [-h HostName] [-p PortNumber]

  7. Import the backed up crawl configurations into 11.2 by doing the following:

    1. Open a Command Prompt and navigate to <install path>\CAS\<new version>\bin on Windows or <install path>/CAS/<new version>/bin on UNIX.

    2. Run cas-cmd and the createCrawls task. Specify the path to the XML file you created in Backing up CAS 11.1 .

      The syntax for the createCrawls task is: 

      cas-cmd createCrawls [-f FileName.xml] [-h HostName] [-p PortNumber]

      You will be prompted for the password of any connector or data source that requires a password.

  8. If you used any custom Web Crawler plug-ins installed in 11.1, copy the directory containing the plug-in JAR and plugin.xml from the backup location to <install path>/CAS/11.2/lib/web-crawler/plugins.

  9. If you used the Web Crawler in 11.1, do the following:

    1. Copy the older version of default.xml and site.xml from the workspace backup into the 11.2 workspace\conf\web-crawler locations.

    2. Open default.xml in a text editor and modify the path in the plugin.folders property to the 11.1 directory structure of <install path>/CAS/11.2/lib/web-crawler/plugins.
