Upgrading MySource Matrix from v3.16.0 to v3.16.1

If you do not use the Thesaurus assets in your system, you can use the standard procedure for this upgrade.

Introduction

This guide will help you upgrade an existing MySource Matrix version 3.16.0 installation to version 3.16.1.

This upgrade requires you to have access to:

  • update the MySource Matrix source code
  • upgrade MySource Matrix configuration files

This guide assumes that your MySource Matrix installation is located at /home/websites/mysource_matrix. Please change any commands to the appropriate location if your installation is located elsewhere.

If your system contains the commercial or premium modules, please contact Squiz for updated versions of the modules before proceeding with the upgrade.

The modules must be upgraded at the same time as the core system.

Backup

Before starting any upgrade, always backup your MySource Matrix installation. See the MySource Matrix backup management guide for information on how to backup your MySource Matrix system.

Getting the New Source Code

The first thing you need to do is update the MySource Matrix source code. You can find out how to download the latest stable version of MySource Matrix on the installation page.

Once you have downloaded the source code, you need replace the existing code with the newer version. This will not reset any configuration options or remove any content from your system.

These steps assume MySource Matrix is installed at /home/websites/mysource_matrix and that a tar.gz archive with the new source code exists within /home/websites 
$ cd /home/websites
$ mv mysource_matrix mysource_matrix_3-16-0
$ tar -xzvf new_source.tar.gz
$ cd mysource_matrix
$ cp -r /home/websites/mysource_matrix_3-16-0/data .

Full System Upgrade

First, the system's installation scripts should be run to ensure the asset types and language translations are up to date.

$ php install/step_02.php /home/websites/mysource_matrix
$ php install/step_03.php /home/websites/mysource_matrix
$ php install/compile_locale.php /home/websites/mysource_matrix

Remove Offending Links from Thesaurus Terms

There was an issue found where Thesaurus Term assets were able to act as parents for any asset type, when they should only be allowed to be parents of other Thesaurus Terms.

Run this query (using your choice of tool, eg. psql or sqlplus) to determine whether there are any shadow asset parents in the links table:

SELECT
    linkid, majorid, minorid
FROM
    sq_ast_lnk
WHERE
    majorid LIKE '';

If this query returns any results, please run this query to delete the offending entries:

DELETE FROM
    sq_ast_lnk
WHERE
    majorid LIKE '';

Upgrade Complete

Your upgrade to MySource Matrix version 3.16.1 should now be complete.
