Changes

Upgrade instructions

Remember to backup your harvestdatabase before upgrading to 3.16.0. A restore of the database backup is required, if you want to go back to an earlier version of NetarchiveSuite!!!

New settings in the common module

New settings and language keys in the harvester module

settings.harvester.scheduler.singlejobdispatching: Remove, singlejobdispatching is always on.
settings.harvester.harvesting.sendStatusDelay

Changes to tables in the harvest database

You need to update three entries in the schemaversions table:

update schemaversions set tablename = 'runningjobshistory' where tablename = 'runningJobsHistory';
update schemaersions set tablename = 'runningjobsmonitor' where tablename = 'runningJobsMonitor';
update schemaversions set tablename = 'frontierreportmonitor' where tablename = 'frontierReportMonitor';

Information about how to perform this on an external derby can be found here: NAS-1868.

A standalone harvest database update tool has been added, which should be used to update the database before starting the 3.16.0 NetarchiveSuite on the database (see NAS-1870 Database deadlock on upgrade of prod database). See Additional Tools Manual 3.16 for documentation.
