Post upgrade tasks
After you complete the upgrade of your Content Manager server, you should perform a number of post-upgrade tasks. These tasks help you to verify the installation and configure the components that you have just upgraded.
- Verifying Microsoft SQL System Administration role permissions
To ensure that the database upgrade tool (DBUpgradeTool or DBUT) works properly, theisourceuser must have system administrator permissions. - Running DBUpgradeTool for maintenance
DBUpgradeTool (DBUT), for all supported database engines, performs an overall verification of the database and updates database objects such as views, indexes, packages and stored procedures and modifies metadata structures. - Installing ISHDeploy and ISHRemote
When installing or upgrading to Tridion Docs 15, you need to install the ISHDeploy and ISHRemote PowerShell modules on the Content Manager application server. The modules are needed to run the scripts delivered with Tridion Docs. - Using ISHDeploy to configure a new or upgraded Content Manager
ISHDeploy cmdlets to configure Content Manager following installation or upgrade. - The Administrator setup
Needs to be done only if you did not receive a fully prepared database dump-backup file, otherwise this is done and configured. - Upgrading Content Manager from 13.0.0 or 13.0.1
New features and feature changes that appeared between the 13.0.0 release and the service packs require specific actions for the upgrade. - Checking translation services roles and privileges
An active TRANSLATORSERVICE role is necessary for translation services (TranslationOrganizer, TranslationBuilder) to operate. This role is part of the out-of-the-box settings for Content Manager 10.0.0 and later. As from Tridion Docs 15. the user used for translation services must have an "Administrator" user role, or be a part of any other role that as "System Administrator" privilege or "Translation Mangement" privilege. In case TRANSLATIONSERVICE role needs to be created with all status transitions, follow the procedure: - Upgrading your Inboxes configuration
Tridion Docs 15 introduces some changes to the XML of the configuration for Inboxes. Transform your existing inbox configuration XML from old format to new format by running a Powershell script. - Upgrading your Background Task configuration
Tridion Docs 15 introduces some changes to the XML of the configuration for Background Tasks. Transform your existing Background Task configuration XML from old format to new format by running a Powershell script. - Updating your taxonomy connector configuration
- Enabling Content Manager user interfaces and features
After installing or upgrading Content Manager, you can individually enable the individual user interfaces and subfeatures that are part of Collective Spaces. - Enabling services
After the install is complete, services will not start automatically, since the database is not guaranteed to be in the right state until you run DBUT tool. Also, you might decide not to start some services on the specific installation depending on the server role. To enable typical services you can locate and run the Enable-DefaultServices.ps1 script. - Rebuilding the full text index
You can rebuild the full text index if it is no longer synchronized with the current database, or after a Content Manager upgrade on a new server for example. It should be done usingInvoke-ISHFullTextIndexMaintenancecmdlet available overISHDeploymodule. - Configure Security Token Service for authenticating WCF .SVC web services (deprecated)
The WCF .SVC web services require that you configure a Security Token Service (STS) for authentication, which uses ISHSTS as the default identity provider. - Verifying the installation
Follow these procedures to test and verify the critical parts of the new Content Manager installation.
