- Hybrid Data Pipeline
- Version 5.0
- Documentation
- Run the stop.sh script to shutdown the server. See Stopping and starting the Hybrid Data Pipeline service for details.
- Copy the product file to a temporary directory.
- Install a compatible JVM and define it on your system path. See Product requirements for details on JVM prerequisites.
After copying the product installation file to a temporary directory, take the following steps to upgrade a non-load balancer deployment with the installer in GUI mode.
-
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.
-
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
-
Run the executable by entering the product file path and
pressing ENTER.
-
Type the file name and path of the product file. For
example:
./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin
- Press ENTER.
- 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. -
Type the file name and path of the product file. For
example:
- Enter or choose the directory of the installation you want to upgrade; then, click Next.
-
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.
- Click Upgrade in the pop-up dialog to continue.
-
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.
-
Accept or enter 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.
-
Select how you want to continue the upgrade.
- Select Express to persist previously established values. Then, click Next and continue at Step 24.
- 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
- Enable or disable the On-Premises Connector
- Change Server Access Ports
- Change On-Premises Connector Ports
- Change Server Internal Access Ports
Note: The key location where the generated key and internal files are stored cannot be modified when performing an upgrade. -
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.
-
Depending on your environment, provide the appropriate SSL
certificate information.
- Select Certificate
file to specify a PEM file to be used by the server to
establish SSL connections with ODBC and JDBC client applications. Type
the full path to the PEM file, or click Choose... to browse to the location of the PEM file.
Then, click Next.Note: The PEM file must consist of a private key, a public key certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA), and additional certificates that make up the trust chain. See The PEM file for more information.
- Select Use existing
Certificate to use the SSL certificate specified in the
previous installation or the self-signed certificate included with the
installation. Then, click Next.Note: The self-signed certificate may be used in a test environment. However, for production, a PEM file with required information should be specified. See The PEM file for more information.
- Select Certificate
file to specify a PEM file to be used by the server to
establish SSL connections with ODBC and JDBC client applications. Type
the full path to the PEM file, or click Choose... to browse to the location of the PEM file.
Then, click Next.
-
Select whether you want to use MySQL Community Edition as a
data source or external database. Hybrid Data Pipeline does not provide a driver
for MySQL Community Edition; however, it does support the MySQL Connector/J
driver. If you choose Yes, in the
Jar Path field, provide the name and
location of the driver's jar file. 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/.
-
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. -
Select the type of database you want to use to store system
information.
- Select Internal Database (supplied by this install) to use the default internal database. Click Next and continue at Step 22.
- Select External Database to store the system information in an external database. Then, from the drop down box, choose your database vender. Then, click Next.
Note: Users and data sources created in the internal database are specific to the internal database. They are not migrated to the external database if you subsequently modify the Hybrid Data Pipeline server to use an external database. -
