Endeca 11.2 Migration

Hi Friends ,

Today we are going to see some interesting topic about migrating Endeca to 11.2 version , which consists of some interesting steps which you have not done Earlier .This Tutorial aims to be describing the step by step approach to be followed.

Before Start executing these tutorials, I would recommend to read my earlier blog regarding the ATG migration, which may be interesting to follow up.

Step1:

App Migration:

I would recommend you to compare 11.1 and 11.2 app structures and move the newly changed files to 11.1 app structures, use software’s like beyond compare for this comparison. When you don’t have earlier 11.1 project specific app structure then you can go head and creating the app from the crs deployment template of 11.2, for application creation you can refer my blog here.

In the App level some of the legacy import has been replaced. The content has been identified with the json files

Eg

Make sure the following file is avalaible in the Folder C:\Endeca\Apps\ATGen\control\..\config\import

_@@PROJECT_NAME@@.json

{"ecr:type": "site"}

Some of the Scripts for execution has been removed completely, when you do a compare you will come to know.

Step:2

After the Installation login to the workbench http://localhost:8006/

When you are logging for the first time, 11.2 feature asks you to change the password change it make sure you are using the unique password, this password has to be registered in to the Endeca and ATG Side so remember it .

Step:3

Initialize the Application from control directory of the application. When you do initialization you will face the below issue while provisioning the site to IFCR .

[07.22.16 15:09:46] SEVERE: Unauthorized (401): Unauthorized access to workbench. Please check your credentials in WorkbenchConfig.xml/OCS. If problem still persists, please contact your administrator.

Occurred while executing line 3 of valid BeanShell script:

[[

1|

2|      

3|    IFCR.provisionSite();

4|    CAS.importDimensionValueIdMappings("Discover-dimension-value-id-manager",

5|         InitialSetup.getWorkingDir() + "/test_data/initial_dval_id_mappings.csv");

6|     

]]

[07.22.16 15:09:46] SEVERE: Caught an exception while invoking method 'run' on object 'InitialSetup'. Releasing locks.

Caused by java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl invoke0 - null

Caused by com.endeca.soleng.eac.toolkit.exception.AppControlException

com.endeca.soleng.eac.toolkit.script.Script runBeanShellScript - Error executing valid BeanShell script.

Caused by com.endeca.soleng.eac.toolkit.utility.IFCRUtility$HttpStatusException

com.endeca.soleng.eac.toolkit.utility.IFCRUtility execute - Unauthorized (401): Unauthorized access to workbench. Please check your credentials in WorkbenchConfig.xml/OCS. If problem still persists, please contact your administrator.

Failure to initialize EAC application.

The Solution for this is go to Tools and Frameworks Directory and go to credential store directory and execute the below command

manage_credentials.bat add --config ..\..\server\workspace\credential_store\jps-config.xml --mapName endecaToolsAndFrameworks --user admin --key ifcr --type password

don’t forget to give the –config of you are not giving the Config then it will not update the Password in jps-config.xml

it will ask for the username and password give the username as admin and password as same password which you changed for the workbench.  It will prompt that key already exists do you want to update give yes for it .

Step:4

Change this config repository password in cas also.

C:\Endeca\Apps\ATGen\config\cas\last-mile-crawl.xml

After you changed , do initializeservices this time it will initialize without errors .

Step:5

You are set when you want to trigger indexing from dyn admin you need to perform more operations

Other wise you will face com.endeca.repository.importer.ImporterException: Unable to connect to config repository on localhost.localdomain:8006 with user admin, Response:HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

Solution:

Go to the component

http://localhost:8015/dyn/admin/nucleus//atg/dynamo/security/opss/csf/CredentialStoreMana

ger/

select

CreateLogin CredentialStoreManager

And click select if it is givin error like below java.security.AccessControlException: Access Denied

Then go to the C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_21\jre\lib and open the file java.policy and  add the following line in to the grant option.

permission java.security.AllPermission;

after this changes then again restart the server and go to the component CredentialStoreManager

do the same

CreateLogin CredentialStoreManager/

credental key ifcr

credential type login

username

password

here username and password is the same as you have given earlier  . once if you give it all , it will be highlighted in yellow which states your changes has picked .

So now you are done with the Endeca Changes now from java changes.

Endeca 11.2 Java changes

Class Named NavigationStateProcessor has changed it’s below method

public void process (NavigationState pNavigationState)

to

public NavigationState process (NavigationState pNavigationState)

So Congratulations for migrating to 11.2 .
