Upgrade from Syncope 3 to Syncope 4
Hi all,
I am preparing the plan to migrate to Syncope 4 and have a few questions:
1. In the case the current DB is non-JSON flavored it seems the migration needs some more operations to do but the link pointed at
https://syncope.apache.org/docs/4.0/reference-guide.html#persistence-storage-upgrade does not work anymore. Could you provide more info on this?
2. The 3.0 Integration Guide is not online anymore, is it possible to download a copy somewhere?
3. Do you recommend to upgrade to 4.0 or straight to 4.1 ?
Cheers
Lionel

Flowable tables will be populated by the REST calls.
Audit will definitely require some creative and custom approach.

Syncope 3.0.x requires Tomcat 9 and JDK 11 or 17 to run.

Hi Francesco, thanks for the links!
From what I understand, there is not SQL procedure to move to JSONB flavor, so I need to start a new Syncope server with a fresh db and POST users and anyobjects. What about other tables (Flowable tables, audit history, ...) ?
One more question: is it possible to run Syncope3 on Tomcat10? (After a first try I get "404 [ http://localhost:8080/syncope/rest/openapi.json%22 | http://localhost:8080/syncope/rest/openapi.json" ] and no errors in catalina.out)

Upgrade to 4.0 then upgrade to 4.1 by following

You can have a look at the dev@ thread at
