Before you begin:
Note: The installer does not support changing a deployment to a load balancer deployment during an upgrade, or vice versa. To make such a change, you would need to uninstall the server and then reinstall it. See Uninstalling Hybrid Data Pipeline server and Installing the Hybrid Data Pipeline server for details.

After copying the product installation file to a temporary directory, take the following steps to upgrade a load balancer deployment with the installer in GUI mode.

  1. From a command-line prompt, navigate to the directory where you saved the product upgrade file. Alternatively, place the product upgrade file directory on your path before proceeding to the next step.

    The product file has the format PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin, where nn is the version of the product.

  2. Make the file an executable using the chmod command. Then, press ENTER. For example:

    chmod +x ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin

  3. Run the executable by entering the product file path and pressing ENTER.
    1. Type the file name and path of the product file. For example:

      ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin

    2. Press ENTER.
    3. The Introduction window appears. Click Next to continue.
    Note: If the installer cannot continue with a GUI installation, a message is displayed, and the installation continues in console mode.
  4. Enter or choose the directory of the installation you want to upgrade; then, click Next.
  5. Choose the JVM you want to use for the runtime operation of the server.
    Note: By default, the JVM used to run the installer is selected. However, you may choose a different JVM by clicking Choose Java Executable and navigating to the Java executable of your preferred JVM. See Product requirements for details on JVM prerequisites.
  6. Click Upgrade in the pop-up dialog to continue.
  7. Choose whether you want to upgrade with an evaluation or licensed version of the product. Licensed installations require a valid License Key.
    • Evaluation. Select this option to upgrade with an evaluation version that is fully functional for 30 days. Then, click Next.
    • Licensed. Select this option if you purchased a licensed version of the product. Type the license key, including any dashes, and then click Next.
  8. Accept the fully qualified hostname for the Hybrid Data Pipeline server. By default, the installer suggests the name of the current machine. Then, click Next.
    Note:
    • For non-load balancer deployments where the server is receiving queries directly, the hostname should be tied to the DNS for public access. This allows you to update IP addresses in the DNS without having to run an upgrade installation to reconfigure your deployment.
    • If the installer is unable to validate the hostname, you are prompted to reenter the hostname or skip validation. Skipping validation is often desired when performing a silent installation or upgrade.
  9. Select how you want to continue the upgrade.
    • Select Express to persist previously established values. Then, click Next and continue at Step 23.
    • Select Modify settings to change values for the following configurations. Then, click Next.
      • Change the location of the SSL certificate file
      • Enable or disable FIPS
      • Add MySQL Community Edition as a data store or external system database
      • Change the system database you are using
      • Update external system database credentials
      • Change Server Access Ports
      • Change On-Premises Connector Ports
      • Change Server Internal Access Ports
    Note: The following elements of an installation cannot be modified when performing an upgrade of a load balancer installation: key location, load balancer hostname, and On-Premises Connector enablement.
  10. Select whether you want to enable FIPS on the Hybrid Data Pipeline server.
    Important: To enable FIPS, your hardware must support secure random, or you must have a secure random daemon installed.
    Important: When you enable FIPS during an upgrade, the environment uses the encryption key for the system database that was generated during the original installation of the server. This encryption key, while generated with a FIPS compliant algorithm, was not generated with a FIPS certified implementation of the algorithm.
  11. Depending on your environment, provide the appropriate SSL certificate information.
    • Select Certificate file to specify the SSL certificate file to be used with the Hybrid Data Pipeline server. The specified file must be the root certificate used to sign the certificate for the load balancer server. PEM, DER, and Base64 encodings are supported. Type the full path to the certificate file, or click Choose... to browse to the location of the SSL certificate file. Then, click Next.
    • Select Use existing Certificate to use the SSL certificate specified in the previous installation or bypass the specification of an SSL certificate. Then, click Next.
  12. Select MySQL Community Edition if you plan to use MySQL Community Edition as an external system database or as a data source. Hybrid Data Pipeline does not provide a driver for MySQL Community Edition. However, you can use the MySQL Connector/J driver to use MySQL Community Edition as an external system database or as a data source. If you select MySQL Community Edition, enter the name and location of the MySQL Connector/J jar file in the Jar Path field. Then, click Next to continue.
    Note: For more information on the MySQL Connector/J driver, refer to the MySQL developer website at https://dev.mysql.com/.
  13. Select Kerberos for SQL Server if you plan to authenticate using Kerberos. Click Choose... to type a path or browse to the location of the configuration file krb5.conf.
  14. Select the type of external database you want to use to store system information from the drop down box. Then, click Next.
    • Select Oracle, and continue at Step 15.
    • Select MySQLCommunity, and continue at Step 16.
    • Select MSSQLServer, and continue at Step 17.
    • Select PostgreSQL, and continue at Step 18.
  15. Provide the Oracle connection information.
    1. Type the name of the host.
    2. Type the port number.
    3. Select the connection type. Do one of the following:
      • If you connect using the Oracle System Identifier (SID), select Connect using SID, then type the SID.
      • Select Connect using Service Name, then type the database service name that specifies the database that is used for the connection. The service name is a string that is the global database name. The global database name typically comprises the database name and domain name.
    4. Optionally, in the Advanced Options field, specify additional connection parameters and their values to be included the connection url. Values should be entered as a semicolon-separated list of parameter=value. For example, you may enter to following options to configure SSL: 
      encryptionLevel=Required;encryptionTypes=(AES256);
dataIntegrityLevel=Required;dataIntegrityTypes=(SHA1);
encryptionMethod=SSL;keyStore=/common/Oracle/trustStore.jks;
keyStorePassword=secret;serverType=dedicated;authenticationMethod=ntlm;

    2. Type the port number.
    3. Type the database name.
    4. Optionally, in the Advanced Options field, specify additional connection parameters and their values to be included the connection url. Values should be entered as a ampersand-separated list of parameter=value.
    5. Click Next, and continue at Step 19.
  17. Provide the SQL Server connection information.
    1. Type the name of the host.
    2. Type the port number.
    3. Type the database name.
    4. Type the name of the schema.
    5. Optionally, in the Advanced Options field, specify additional connection parameters and their values to be included in the connection URL. Values should be entered as a semicolon-separated list of parameter=value.
    6. Optionally, in the Advanced Options field, specify the path to the krb5.conf file to use Kerberos authentication method.
    7. Click Next, and continue at Step 19.
  18. Provide the PostgreSQL connection information.
    1. Type the name of the host.
    2. Type the port number.
    3. Type the database name.
    4. Optionally, in the Advanced Options field, specify additional connection parameters and their values to be included in the connection URL. Values should be entered as a semicolon-separated list of parameter=value.
    5. Click Next, and continue at Step 19.
  19. Provide the external database credential information.
    Note:
    • Administrator credentials are required at install time to add and modify required tables in the database schema. Administrator credentials are not used by the product at run time.
    • If the installer is unable to validate, you are prompted to reenter credentials or skip validation. Skipping validation is often desired when performing a silent installation. See Silent installation process for details.
    • In the Admin Username field, type the administrator user name. The administrator user must have certain privileges that are specific to the database vendor. For a list of required privileges, see External system databases.
    • In the Admin Password field, type the password for an external database administrator account.
    • In the Username field, type a user name. The standard user must have certain privileges that are specific to the database vendor. For a list of required privileges, see External system databases.
    • In the Password field, type the user password.
  20. Review the Server Access Port. The Server Access Port must be opened for the load balancer.
    Table 1. Server Access Ports
    Name Default Description
    Server Access HTTP Port 8080 HTTP port used for communication to the Hybrid Data Pipeline Web UI and API.
    Server Access HTTPS Port 8443 HTTPS port used for encrypted communication to the Hybrid Data Pipeline Web UI and API.
  21. Take the appropriate action depending on whether you are using the On-Premises Connector.
    • If you are not using the On-Premises Connector, skip to the next step.
    • If you are using the On-Premises Connector, review the On-Premises Access Ports. The On-Premises Access Port and the TCP Notification Server Port must be opened for the load balancer.
    Important: If you change any values for On-Premises Access Ports during an upgrade, you will need to reinstall the On-Premises Connector with the updated distribution files in the redist subdirectory. See What to do next.
    Table 2. On-Premises Access Ports
    Name Default Description
    On-Premises Port 40501 Port for communication between the On-Premises Connector and the Hybrid Data Pipeline server.
    Notification Server TCP Port 11280 TCP port for communication from the On-Premises Connector to the Notification Server.
    Notification Server TCP SSL Port 11443 TCP SSL port for encrypted communication from the On-Premises Connector to the Notification Server.
    Message Queue Port 8282 Port for communication between the Notification Server and the Hybrid Data Pipeline server. Required for Linux installation of Hybrid Data Pipeline. Not used in Docker deployments.
  22. Review the Server Internal Ports. An Internal API Port and the Shutdown Port must be opened.
    Important: As a matter of best practice, the Shutdown Port should not be available outside the firewall of the Hybrid Data Pipeline instance.
    Table 3. Server Internal Ports
    Name Default Description
    Internal API HTTP Port 8190 HTTP port for communication between individual nodes in a cluster deployment.
    Internal API HTTPS Port 8090 HTTPS port for encrypted communication between individual nodes in a cluster deployment.
    Shutdown Port 8005 TCP port that listens for shutdown requests.
  23. Review the installation summary. If you are satisfied with your choices, press ENTER to upgrade.
  24. After the upgrade has finished, press ENTER to exit the installer.
  25. Verify the upgrade by accessing the Hybrid Data Pipeline user interface from a browser. The login page should appear. For example:

    https://<myserver>/

    where <myserver> is the fully qualified hostname or IP address of the load balancer.

    After logging in, administrators can verify product version information by selecting About from the question mark drop-down menu.

Refer to installation log files for a record of any problems that may have occurred during the upgrade. See Deployment logs for details.

What to do next

If you changed any values for On-Premises Access Ports during an upgrade, you will need to reconfigure the load balancer to use the new ports.

Important: If you previously configured server-side SSL in a deployment using a load balancer, you must rerun the enable_ssl.sh script on each server node to re-enable SSL. See SSL configuration for details.
