Upgrade Notes

DMC Users

DMC users should know that Liquibase Enterprise 8.9 requires you to upgrade to DMC version 8.6+ to ensure that the DMC Report Links continue working as expected.

Enhancements

New Ephemeral Database property ephemeralCleanUpBeforeStart

This ephemeral database property is set in the deployPackager.properties and allows Liquibase to clean up any existing ephemeral database or PDB found while performing Ephemeral Packaging. Existing databases can exist because of earlier failures or cancelations from an Ephemeral Packaging job. This property applies to Oracle, SQLServer, and Postgres Ephemeral Packaging.

Associated Tickets: DAT-17246

Desktop Client Updates, CLI Updates, and Issues Addressed

Issue ID	Description
DAT-17246	A new Ephemeral Database property called `ephemeralCleanUpBeforeStart` is available. Setting this value to `true` will enable Liquibase to drop an existing ephemeral database or PDB in case of a previously failed Packager Operation. This property applies to Oracle, SQLServer, and Postgres Ephemeral Packaging.
DAT-17821	Fixed an issue where the Deploy Report was missing a link to the .sql.log when using schema-level folders.
DAT-18899	Made updates to the diffChangelog and snapshot commands to include a full view definition when using the --ddlExcludeList parameter. For Oracle databases only.
DAT-19138	Fixed an issue with Oracle RAC clusters and ephemeral packaging to include `instances=all` with the close and open commands when RAC cluster use is detected.
DAT-19253	Added flexibility in Oracle Ephemeral Packaging to include the ability to specify the following overrides in the deployPackager.properties: `oracleEphemeralCopySid` `oracleEphemeralCopyTnsName` If these properties are not specified, Liquibase will use the values from the dbDef and append an `_eph` suffix to the source. You can override a Service Name by specifying in the deployPackager.properties with: `oracleEphemeralCopyServiceName` The Default logic is updated to handle Service Name if an override is not provided. If this property is not specified, Liquibase will use the value from the dbDef and append an `_eph` suffix before a first dot. For example, `datical.dev.com` will become `datical_eph.dev.com`. If a dot is absent in the value, the `_eph` suffix will be added to the end of the source.

DMC Issues Addressed

Issue ID	Description
DAT-19015	Added optimizations to DMC Report Search to improve performance.

DMC Update Instructions

Updating the Deployment Monitoring Console to the latest version is similar to the installation process.

Go to Liquibase Software Updates , download, and copy the datical-service-unix-<version>-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-<version>-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.
