Known issues

The transformation of metadata, often required when a new version of Yoda is deployed holding one or more metadataschema changes versions, can not be completed when metadata still is in locked state “ACCEPTED”.
Therefore, the appointed admin needs to run checks beforehand and settles unfinished workflows to avoid incomplete metadata transformation(s).

Upgrading from previous release

Upgrade is supported by Ansible (2.9.x). Requires Yoda external user service to be on version 1.5.x or higher. Requires Yoda public server to be on version 1.6.x or higher.

Set Yoda release to release-1.6 in configuration.
```
yoda_version: release-1.6
```
Set the default schema to default-1 in configuration.
```
default_yoda_schema: default-1
```
The core modules (research, vault, statistics, group-manager) are enabled by default in Yoda 1.6. Only extra modules have to be enabled in the configuration. So modules becomes extra_modules and all core modules should be removed from the extra_modules list. Update the configuration according to your specifications. For example:
```
     # Yoda modules
     extra_modules:
       - name: intake
         repo: "https://github.com/UtrechtUniversity/yoda-portal-intake.git"
         dest: /var/www/yoda/yoda-portal/modules/intake
         version: "\{\{ yoda_version \}\}"
```
The core rulesets (core and yoda-ruleset) are enabled by default in Yoda 1.6. Only extra modules have to be enabled in the configuration. Furthermore, the research ruleset (irods-ruleset-research) has been merged with the UU ruleset (yoda-ruleset). So rulesets becomes extra_rulesets; core, irods-ruleset-research and yoda-ruleset should be removed from the extra_rulesets list. Update the configuration according to your specifications. For example:
```
     # iRODS rulesets
     extra_rulesets:
       - name: irods-ruleset-youth-cohort
         repo: https://github.com/UtrechtUniversity/irods-ruleset-youth-cohort.git
         ruleset_name: rules-yc
         version: "\{\{ yoda_version \}\}"
         install_scripts: no
```

Run the Ansible playbook in check mode.

ansible-playbook -i <path-to-your-environment> playbook.yml --check
### EXAMPLE ###
ansible-playbook -i /environments/development/allinone playbook.yml --check

If the playbook has finished succesfully in check mode, run the Ansible playbook normally.

ansible-playbook -i <path-to-your-environment> playbook.yml
### EXAMPLE ###
ansible-playbook -i /environments/development/allinone playbook.yml

Convert all metadata XML in the vault to JSON (default-0 XML to default-0 JSON).

irule -r irods_rule_engine_plugin-irods_rule_language-instance -F /etc/irods/yoda-ruleset/tools/check-vault-metadata-xml-for-transformation-to-json.r

Update all metadata JSON in the vault to latest metadata JSON version (default-0 to default-1).

irule -r irods_rule_engine_plugin-irods_rule_language-instance -F /etc/irods/yoda-ruleset/tools/check-metadata-for-schema-updates.r

Update publication endpoints if there are published packages (landingpages and OAI-PMH)):

irule -r irods_rule_engine_plugin-irods_rule_language-instance -F /etc/irods/yoda-ruleset/tools/update-publications.r
