When Upgrading from previous versions of RED, the RED metadata, Azkaban metadata or both may need upgrading. For RED the requirement to upgrade is enforced at login when there is an application version mismatch, but it is best practice to validate and upgrade the metadata after every RED application upgrade. Refer to the Upgrading WhereScape RED section of the RED User Guide for more details.

If there are important updates to the Azkaban metadata these will be indicated in the important upgrade messages that follow. Refer to the Upgrading Azkaban section of the RED User Guide for more details.

  • All ODBC, Database, Extensible Source Connection and Scheduler Configuration credentials have moved to the RED Profile, therefore each user of RED should generate their own local profile file (see the user guide for details) to continue using RED.
  • For new installs, from RED 10.2.+, you will find the wsl_scheduler_profile_maintenance host script under your Host Script's in your RED metadata repository (see the user guide for details). For upgraded repositories you will need to load this script into RED manually from <RED_Installation_Directory>\Administrator\Scripts\wsl_scheduler_profile_maintenance.ps1
  • All Azkaban components require upgrading and the encrypted Scheduler profile records added to redadmin.ws_scheduler_profile (see the user guide for details) in order for jobs to run.
  • Post upgrade it is encouraged to remove all credentials from the metadata since these should now reside in the in-memory session level credentials only. Run the following update on the metadata to achieve this: 
    Code Block
    languagesql
    titleRemove credentials after upgrade
    -- Remove credentials from Database, ODBC and Extensible Source connections
UPDATE red.ws_dbc_connect
SET dc_extract_userid='', dc_extract_pwd='', dc_admin_userid='', dc_admin_pwd=''
WHERE dc_type IN ('D','O','Z');

-- Remove credentials from Scheduler Configuration
UPDATE red.ws_wrk_external_scheduler
SET wes_dashboard_userid='', wes_dashboard_pwd='', wes_restapi_userid='', wes_restapi_pwd='';

...

The default scheduler integration scripts are often improved, occasionally these improvements are required to work with a new release. Please refer to the change history below and refer to the RED user guide for detailed upgrade instructions.
