4.4 Upgrading a Connect Database

Execute these steps to upgrade an existing Connect database schema.

If Connect is installed in C:\Connect\kc, go to the install subdirectory (i.e. C:\Connect\kc\install).
  1. Run updatedb.bat
  2. Run seeddb.bat
Note: The updatedb and seeddb scripts require the database.connect property in the database.properties file to be unencrypted.

Troubleshooting

Updatedb will write a log file in C:\Connect\kc\initdb\logs.

Seeddb will write a log file in C:\Connect\kc\logs.

Encrypting and Re-Encrypting Database Passwords

If you have configured a non-default encryption provider, you must convert the user passwords in the database to the new encryption scheme. To do this, run the cryptoutil utility:
cd C:\connect\kc\install
cryptoutil.bat -migrate
                
This will re-encrypt each user password using the new encryption scheme.
