Desktop Client and CLI Updates and Issues Addressed

Issue ID	Description
DAT-13075 Most Wanted	Old Forecasts that were already deployed no longer appear when forecast runs. Forecast reports only show the changesets that are ready for deployment.
DAT-13810 Most Wanted	Upgrading DMC no longer fails if LDAPS(LDAP over SSL) are configured.
DAT-13508 DAT-11471 Most Wanted	Precise Rollback no longer fails when rolling back one changeset in a group of changesets that has a different number of versions from the first changeset. Changesets rollback as expected.
DAT-13198 Most Wanted	`datical-control service restart all` no longer fails and it prints the appropriate info message that the service is not managed by datical-control when using production mode.
DAT-8180 Most Wanted	The SET DEFINE ON command is no longer ignored so the correct data is inserted into the table as expected.
DAT-13684 Most Wanted	Precise rollback no longer attempts to rollback -cleanup scripts.

DAT-10451 DAT-12947 DAT-12949 DAT-13139	When a `CREATE TABLE ddl` script is packaged along with a `-rollback` script, the content from the `-rollback` is applied as expected. Precise `rollback` files always take precedence over `auto-rollback` logic.

DAT-12387	All Sonar report bugs with appdba code are resolved.

Software	COMMON/Datical_DMC_Software/Datical_DMC_8.3	datical-service-unix-8_3-master.sh

Starting with release 7.0, Liquibase includes a web-based Deployment Monitoring Console (DMC) that provides a centralized location to view a pipeline status and reporting information for all your Liquibase Business & Enterprise projects.

Liquibase Enterprise & Business Clients (Datical DB) and DMC Compatibility

Each DMC release only works with certain releases of Liquibase Enterprise Desktop. Consult the Deployment Monitoring Console Compatibility Matrix to ensure compatibility.

Getting Started with the Deployment Monitoring Console

To get started with DMC, check out the following documentation resources:
- DMC Documentation Home
- DMC Install Configurations and System Requirements

DMC Update Instructions

The process of updating the Deployment Monitoring Console from version 7.0 or later to the latest version is similar to the installation process.

Expand for DMC update instructions

Go to https://download.liquibase.com/ , download and copy the datical-service-unix-8_1_317-master.sh file to your existing DMC server.
Run the installer with the following command and enter your existing OS user as the admin user and admin group:

/home/datical> sudo bash /datical-service-unix-8_1_317-master.sh

Enter the directory of the previous DMC installation when prompted for an install location.

The installer will update your installation and restart affected DMC services. You can begin using the new version of the DMC immediately.

If you have manually changed the java version used by DMC, you will need to restore DMC’s default version of Java (11.0.8) before any time that you upgrade DMC. Move or copy Java 11.0.8 from the /opt/datical/old_jre directory back to the /opt/datical/jre directory prior to starting your DMC upgrade. DMC expects Java version 11.0.8 to be in the /opt/datical/jre directory for the DMC upgrade process to be successful. After your DMC upgrade is complete, you can change to a different 11.x java version again. For more information, see How to Change the Java version for DMC. This link is especially important if you are using v7.18 or later.
