Migration path from version 2 to version 3

The directory structure did not change.Atheos Server must be upgraded for the sequence number.version 3 of the Gateway is not a drop-in replacement for version 2. The actions required to upgrade to this new version:

  • Atheos Server must be updated to version xx.yy.zz

  • Update the configuration file

  • Update the configuration of the component ??????????????????????

Atheos Server must be updated to version xx.yy.zz

This is pretty straight forward. It should be handled the same way as the previous updates. The changes introduced to support version 3 of the Gateway are listed in the Atheos Server release notes.

Update the configuration file

The default configuration distributed with the Gateway version 3 contains many comments. This section contains general information that describes the overall configuration file. The sample configuration file is given at the end of this section.

NOTE: The content of the configuration is case-sensitive.

Currently, the sections defined in the configuration are:

  • LogFile

  • MessagesRepositories

  • Connectivity

  • ServerSSLCertificate

  • ServerSSLPrivateKey

  • Security Provider sections

  • OpenSSL

  • Performance

  • Nexo

  • PoiConfigurations

LogFile

The log file was defined in previous versions using only the parameter LogFile. It is now a section which contains the following parameters:

Parameter

Previous parameter

URI

LogFile

DirectoriesPermissions

n/a

FilePermissions

n/a

The URI parameter define the file that will be used for the log file. A fully qualified file name is required. It must comply to the following format: file://fully-qualified-filename. As an example, if the log file to be used is /var/log/amadis/atheosgw.log, the parameter should be:

Code Block
languagenone
URI = file:///var/log/amadis/atheosgw.log

Any missing directories in the log file path will be created with the permissions specified by the parameter DirectoriesPermissions.

The log file permissions will be set to the value of the parameter FilePermissions.

The permission values must be numerical. As an example, the permission rw-r--r shall be given as 0644. The leading zero is important which explicitly qualify an octal value.

Parameters that are no longer in the configuration file

These parameters must be moved into the specific configuration files
