We're still on 5.14. I'm trying to replace the old dataverse-5.14.war file with the updated one. The deploy has been failing because the postgres database (dvndb) exists:
**PRIMARY KEY (SEQ_NAME))": org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "sequence" already exists PER01000: Got SQLException executing statement "INSERT INTO SEQUENCE(SEQ_NAME, SEQ_COUNT) values ('SEQ_GEN', 0)": org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "sequence_pkey" Detail: Key (seq_name)=(SEQ_GEN) already exists.
Command deploy failed. renamed the dvndb database as a backup. But the deploy now fails because dvndb doesn't exist: remote failure: Error occurred during deployment: Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.7.9.payara-p2): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: FATAL: database "dvndb" does not exist
Error Code: 0. Please see server.log for more details.
Command deploy failed.
**
Should there be an empty dvndb for the deploy? (I'll also copy this to the google group).
Deploy then fails because there isn't a dvndb database. Created an empty dvndb database (the renamed backup also still exists). The deploy works but payara5 isn't coming up.
Caused by: javax.persistence.NoResultException: getSingleResult() did not retrieve any entities... findRootDataver
Sorry, sorry, been busy. You definitely should keep your database!
I put the original dvndb database back. Then undeployed and redeployed the patched dataverse-5.14.war file.
sudo ./asadmin deploy /tmp/dataverse-5.14.war
Enter admin user name> admin
Enter admin password for user "admin">
No response from Domain Admin Server after 600 seconds.
The command is either taking too long to complete or the server has failed.
Please see the server log files for command status.
Command deploy failed.
I just caught up on how @Don Sizemore is helping at https://help.hmdc.harvard.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=409936
Let's keep talking there. Or feel free to start a three way DM with me and Don.
Tim and claude found the answer.
I don't know why but the the way deploy runs is a bit different then it was when 5.14 was initially deployed (the unpatched version).
I checked to be sure who 'owned' dataverse-5.14 and deployed by:
**
sudo -u dataverse ./asadmin deploy dataverse-5.14.war
**
ah, great!
