Upgrades

🚀 Upgrading environment

A step-by-step guide to upgrading an environment to a new Thinkwise version.

Connect to the server through PuTTY:

On the Configuration screen: add url for the server, then Open (if first time: click Accept on popup).
Login with server credentials found in Passbolt Vault.

Download new image (this step can be done at any moment, but good to prepare in advance):

podman pull registry.thinkwisesoftware.com/public/indicium:<VERSION>

then

nano docker-compose.yml

to open the file. Under indicium you’ll see the current image name, change this to the new version name, then save with Ctrl X.

podman ps

to see which containers are running, then use:

podman stop <container-name>

File can be found on shared drive on the Remote Desktop: S:\Thinkwise\Upgrade Packages.

On the RDS, run twdeployerGUI.exe as administrator (credentials in Passbolt Vault).
Always start with IAM upgrade, then continue to SF upgrade. Follow the steps in the Deployer. SF upgrade will take a few hours, perhaps more, depending on size of the database.

Notes:

If not yet on shared drive, new versions can be downloaded from https://tcp.thinkwise.app/universal/#application=tcp.
Deployer - Server connection: connect with database with SQL server authentication, Database name: select “_iam” or “_sf” database as applicable.

Upgrade of IAM and SF done in Deployer? Then restart everything. In PuTTY:

Check Indicium: Is it running? See log in PuTTY:

podman logs -f <indicium-container-name>

If not —

podman restart <indicium-container-name>

Use WinSCP to access the webserver web.core.lef (credentials in Passbolt)
Drag contents of Universal GUI folder (path on RDS: S:\Thinkwise\Upgrade Packages\..\VERSION..\GUI\Universal) into the folder of the environment you’ve upgraded to replace the GUI files.
