Upgrading the PostgreSQL database using the replication technique

Upgrading the PostgreSQL database using the replication technique

If your Process Server PostgreSQL database version is earlier than version 13.5, you can upgrade the database when the Process Server restarts.
The Process Server PostgreSQL database upgrade is disabled by default. To enable replication upgrade of the PostgreSQL database for a Secure Agent, you must add a custom property for the Secure Agent.
To add a custom property for a Secure Agent, perform the following steps:
  1. In Administrator, select
    Runtime Environments
    .
  2. On the
    Runtime Environments
     page, click the name of the Secure Agent.
    You might have to expand the Secure Agent group to see the list of Secure Agents within the group.
  3. Click the
    Details
     tab.
  4. In the upper right corner, click
    Edit
    .
  5. Scroll down to the
    Custom Configuration Details
     area.
  6. The following image shows the
    Custom Configuration Details
     area:
    When you edit a Secure Agent, the Custom Configuration Details area appears at the bottom of the page. The Custom Configuration Details area contains the following fields: Service, Type, Sub-type, Name, Value, and Sensitive. The Add and Remove icons appear on the right side.
  7. If there are custom properties already configured, click the
    Add
     icon to add a new property row.
  8. Select the service as
    Process Server
    .
  9. Select a configuration property type as
    db
    .
  10. Enter the property name as
    replication_upgrade
     and value as
    true
    .
  11. Click
    Save
    .
    The status of the Process Server service shows up as
    Restart Required
    .
When you restart the Process Server for the first time, the database starts replicating the data from your existing database version. Every time you restart the Process Server, the database verifies the replication status. After the replication is complete, the next time you restart the Process Server, the older version of the PostgreSQL database is shut down and the latest version of the database starts automatically.
This eliminates the effort of manually upgrading the Process Server PostgreSQL database to the latest version by running the scripts provided by Informatica.
