Info
This process must be repeated every time the Digizuite Mobile App is updated
For this installation, no website is needed. Digizuite Mobile App is a self employed product that reflects the Digizuite Media Manager.
During the installation process there are changes applied to the DAM database. For this reason it is strongly recommended to back up the database for the DAM Center before proceeding with running the installation script.
Before you can use the Media Manager Mobile App, an installation script needs to be run towards the DAM Center.
For DAM Center releases later than than 5.3.0 (incl. 5.3.0)
Use this version for 5.3.2 and up:
Copy the zip installation folder from swinstall, into the server and unzip the file
In the folder, there is a appsettings.json file which needs to have some data set:
{ "Logging": { "LogLevel": { "Default": "Debug", "System": "Information", "Microsoft": "Information" } }, "Upgrade": { "ConnectionString": "#{ConnectionString}", "RunGenerateSearchForAll": true, "ApiUrl": "#{ApiUrl}", "ApiUsername": "#{ApiUsername}", "ApiPassword": "#{ApiPassword}", "VersionGuid": "1356CC29-B3A4-E6CC-152A-FEE1504E0C34", "Availability": "74A5A102-A310-4BB7-9E84-0B14C36436B2", "Timeout": "00:30:00" } }
Here is a description of all the configuration parameters (the red parameters need to be filled out/updated):
Parameter name | Description |
---|---|
ConnectionString | The database connection string. Must include the SQL server IP/Hostname, database name for the DAM Center, and the credentials of a SQL Server user with the rights to edit the given database. Most of it can be found in the Media Manager's corresponding appsettings.json file. |
RunGenerateSearchForAll | Determines whether all Solr searches should be repopuplated after the install/update. Default: true |
ApiUrl | The URL to the DAM Center external API. Usually this would be the base URL of the DAM Center, with /dmm3bwsv3 added to the end. |
ApiUsername | The a high level user. Default: System |
ApiPassword | MD5 hash of the password for the user set in apiUsername. You will find this in the db members table. |
VersionGuid | A unique key which refers to mobile. Don't change it if it works. Else, locate your Mobile GUID in Mobile's configManager. Default: 1356CC29-B3A4-E6CC-152A-FEE1504E0C34 |
Availability | GUID of metadatafield that controls publishing. Default: 74A5A102-A310-4BB7-9E84-0B14C36436B2 |
Timeout | Maximum time (in seconds) to wait before timing out any request. If using runGenerateSearchForAll, the advised value is 1800. Default: 1800 |
Once the config file is set up correctly, run db-upgrade.exe. You may choose to run it py double clicking it, by calling it from the CMD prompt, or, if you want to retain the log, run it vis PowerShell.
For DAM Center releases earlier than 5.3.0
The folder includes a "MediaManager.DbUpgrade" executable that is an all-in-one. You must specify a variety of configuration parameters in the accompanying MediaManager.DbUpgrade.exe.config file before running the executable script.
The following is an example of a valid configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="db" connectionString="Server=localhost;Persist Security Info=False;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Initial Catalog=customer_dam;User ID=admin_customer_dam;Password=admin_customer_dam"/> </connectionStrings> <appSettings> <!-- JobService GenerateSearchForAll --> <add key="runGenerateSearchForAll" value="true"/> <add key="apiUrl" value="http://customerdc.digizuite.com/dmm3bwsv3"/> <add key="apiUsername" value="System"/> <add key="apiPassword" value="#{dzApiPassword}"/> <!-- Standard/Required --> <add key="versionGuid" value="5021806d-157c-466d-b346-ba7bed246968"/> <add key="availability" value="74A5A102-A310-4BB7-9E84-0B14C36436B2"/> <add key="usingEmbeddedScripts" value="true"/> <add key="timeoutInSeconds" value="1800"/> </appSettings> <startup> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2"/> </startup> </configuration>
Here is a description of all the configuration parameters (the red parameters need to be filled out/updated):
Parameter name | Description |
---|---|
connectionString | The database connection string. Must include the SQL server IP/Hostname, database name for the DAM Center, and the credentials of a SQL Server user with the rights to edit the given database. Most of it can be found in the Media Manager's 5.1 DbUpgrade.exe.config file. |
runGenerateSearchForAll | Determines whether all Solr searches should be repopuplated after the install/update. Default: true |
apiUrl | The URL to the DAM Center external API. Usually this would be the base URL of the DAM Center, with /dmm3bwsv3 added to the end. |
apiUsername | The system user. Default: System |
apiPassword | MD5 hash of the password for the user set in apiUsername. You will find this in the db members table. |
versionGuid | The Guid can be generated in e.g. https://www.guidgenerator.com/. Otherwise, the field can use the Media Manager version GUID from the DAM Center. Where do I find this GUID? |
availability | Guid of metadatafield that controls publishing. Default: 74A5A102-A310-4BB7-9E84-0B14C36436B2 |
usingEmbeddedScripts | Determines whether the executable uses the default embedded SQL scripts for the install, or if it looks for SQL scripts in the installer folder. Default: true |
timeoutInSeconds | Maximum time to wait before timing out any request. If using runGenerateSearchForAll, the advised value is 1800. Default: 1800 |
Once the config file is set up correctly, the next step is to simply run the MediaManager.DbUpgrade.exe file from the cmd prompt.
Note
There is a small possibility of the installer crashing due to a rare deadlock issue. If this happens, simply run the application one more time.
