How to migrate flows

Prerequisites

Install docker and obtain necessary credentials.

Depending on which version it is necessary upgrade to, you may want to use different version of upgrade script.

curl -sS -0 "https://dig-ace-community.sapiens.com/scripts/ace-4.6.migration.sh" -o ace-4.6.migration.sh &&\
chmod 755 ace-4.6.migration.sh

danger

Please backup flows before doing migration, either by exporting flows as a ZIP file or by exporting them to a GIT repository

In case if a local environment (by default: http://localhost:5005) has to be migrated, run

note

URL parameter is URL of Flow Manager API layer, rather than Flow Manager UI

./ace-4.6.migration.sh http://host.docker.internal:3000

I case if remote environment (for example: https://dev.ace-api.sapienspaas.com/) has to be migrated, run

note

URL parameter is URL of Flow Manager API layer, rather than Flow Manager UI

./ace-4.6.migration.sh https://dev.ace-orch.sapienspaas.com

For production environments, follow these steps:

Export flows to the feature branch in target environment
Install desired ACE version locally
Import feature branch locally
Migrate Flows locally
Test if Flows work as expected locally
Push changes to the feature branch
Create pull request and review changes
Complete the pull request
Install desired ACE version in target environment
Load changes into target environment
Restart Flow Runner and Dynamic APIs runtime services if cache is enabled (see CACHE_FLOWS option in system design document)

note

In case of large workspaces it may be necessary to increase timeout, see timeout troubleshooting details
