RE: [SOLVED] db-upgrade from Liferay CE 7.0-GA7 to 7.1-GA1 fails

2018-07-10T11:55:58Z

Problem solved.

The system did not run all the upgrade tasks automatically by running the ./db-upgrade.sh command.

After the command was finished and the go shell appeared there was still a huge list of upgrade packages shown by the command upgrade:list.

The command upgrade:executeAll brought up an error of the module com.liferay.portal.security.service.access.policy.service.

The error was "java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'SAPEntry' already exists".

I had to revert the database to it's old state because of previous error of the upgrade process. And to do so I used the

mysql -u root -p database < old_dump.dmp command. But this command does not delete all the unused tables.

So I deleted the SAPEntry Table manually and re-ran the upgrade:execute com.liferay.portal.security.service.access.policy.service command which solved the

java.lang.NullPointerException at com.liferay.staging.security.internal.permission.StagingPermissionChecker.hasPermission(StagingPermissionChecker.java:129)

db-upgrade from Liferay CE 7.0-GA7 to 7.1-GA1 fails

[EDIT]

This problem is a duplicate of this: https://community.liferay.com/forums/-/message_boards/message/101467403

The first run of the db-upgrade tool failed because the database could not be found. The db-upgrade.sh tool generated a wrong jdbc connection URL. Some slash was missing. I had to edit the portal-upgrade-database.properties file manually.

Now the upgrade does not work anymore and I get the stacktrace above ^^

I am using a Maria Db.

I also noticed that the upgrade tool is using the MariaDbDialect while the liferay portal, which is using the exactly same connection URL is using the MySQLDialect. This looks suspicious to me as well.

[EDIT]

I deleted the liferay/osgi folder, even I changed nothing within this directory except of the configuration and replaced it with the original one and now the upgrade works.

[EDIT]

After the update was successful and the server also started successfully I receive the following exception with every page I try to access

I rolled back everything to 6.2 GA4 (since GA5 and GA6 are buggy) and tried the upgrade to 7.1. again.

I get several error messages during the upgrade simlar like this one:

2018-07-10 10:54:01.388 WARN  [main][UpgradeProcess:443] Attempting to upgrade table Counter by recreating the table due to: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the r<br> ight syntax to use near 'PRIMARY on Counter' at line 1_Query is:_drop index PRIMARY on Counter [Sanitized]

These error messages did not occur when I upgraded from 6.2 GA4 to 7.0 GA7 and they also did not occur when I upgraded from 7.0 GA7 to 7.1 GA1.

After starting the server i received the same NullPointerException as above ^ with every page I try to access.

Since the updated worked for 6.2 -> 7.0 GA7 and only now when updating to 7.1. GA1 these problems occur, I assume something is wrong with the upgrade process.

(at least for the Mariadb. I am running mysqld Ver 10.0.35-MariaDB for Linux on x86_64 (SLE 12 SP1 package)).
