Supervisor versions 2.1 and older do not support Locator 2.11 SR1. Customers should not upgrade to Locator 2.11 SR1 until they've upgraded to Supervisor 2.2. Note: When you upgrade to Locator 2.11 SR1 you need to configure the Active Directory authentication system as this is a requirement for Supervisor 2.3. |

Locator now supports additional schema override files on upgrades. All xml files located in the folder: "~\ProgramData\ayfie\Locator\Solr\configsets\ViaWorksCloud\conf\schema_overrides" will be merged into schema.xml in addition to schema_overrides.xml. Lingo 2.2 that is installed with Supervisor 2.3 will add the file "schema_overrides_for_lingo.xml" to the new overrides folder. If you're running Lingo 2.2 and have performed the following workaround Missing fields after Supervisor upgrade - WORKAROUND, you need to remove remove the Lingo fields from schema_overrides.xml before you start the upgrade to 2.11 SR1, if not you'll get a duplicate fields warning during upgrade. |
Notes if upgrading from ViaWorks 2.7 or older:
- The PostgreSQL database format will be upgraded. It is strongly recommended to create a backup of the database prior to running the 2.11 upgrade. Once the database has been upgraded, it is not possible to revert back to a previous version
- The index will be rebuilt after the upgrade has finished. The index rebuild can potentially take a while, and users may not be able to search or have incomplete search results until the rebuild completes. Documents will not be re-fetched during this process
- All customers will be moved from the "ViaWorksV2" Solr core to the “ViaWorksCloud” Solr collection during the upgrade process. The “ViaWorksV2” core from versions 2.7 SR5 and older is no longer supported
- During the upgrade, the solrconfig_overrides.xml and schema_overrides.xml files will be reset. Before upgrading, make note of the customization added to these files so they can be re-applied after the upgrade is complete. Note: the Solr schema has changed and overrides will need to be updated to support the changes.
- Locator 2.11 requires .NET framework v. 4.7.2 to be installed.
