O&M Project Update with Extranet

Version

Application Scenario

FanRuan products (FineReport/FineBI/FineDataLink) are continually updated to meet new customer requirements and improve on some features of previous releases.

After deploying projects via the O&M platform as the admin, you need to update and upgrade the projects regularly, but you may encounter some problems with the traditional upgrade approach.

1．The minor updates of FineReport (intranet)/FineBI require manually replacing JAR packages, which is challenging.

2．You may need to upgrade the project to a specified version rather than the latest version due to compatibility issues. It requires manually replacing JAR packages, which is challenging.

3．Upgrading FineReport (extranet) requires manually restarting the project or all cluster nodes, which is troublesome.

4．A failed upgrade cannot be rolled back automatically, causing risks.

Function Description

FineOps provides a FanRuan products-oriented (FineReport/FineBI/FineDataLink) update function.

1．It allows for updating the component to the latest/specified version.

2．It maintains the security of intranet updates by pushing the image.

3．Any failed updates can be automatically rolled back.

Validity

Updating to the latest version with extranet: On an O&M platform with extranet access, you can update specified components by obtaining the latest image online.

Updating to a specified version with extranet: On an O&M platform with extranet access, you can update specified components by contacting the technical support personnel to get the version's image number and obtain the latest image online.

Note: For details about updating projects with intranet, see O&M Project Update with Intranet.

Prerequisite

Deploying the O&M Platform

The FineOps Update function is only valid for projects deployed via FineOps, and projects of non-FineOps deployment do not support the relevant operations of this document.

Configuring the Image Repository

Updating the project components via FineOps requires component image packages of new versions for replacement. Therefore, you need to pull images from the cloud.

Checking the Project Version

Log in to FineOps as the admin, select the required project, and choose Maintenance > Component Management. Find the bi 6/fr/fdl component and check if an updatable version exists.

If "Already the latest version." is displayed, it means that there is no later version released, and no update operation is required.

Project Backup

You are advised to back up the whole project before updating components to prevent uncontrollable accidents during the update.

If no backup from the past 24 hours is detected, the update cannot proceed. A prompt will appear: "Failed to update the component. Make sure that you have a backup within at least 24 hours before updating. Try again after backup."

Log in to FineOps as the admin, select the required project, and choose Maintenance > Backup Management.

You are advised to tick Image Backup and click Start Backup to back up the whole project.

Version Update

1．Log in to FineOps as the admin, select the required project, and choose Maintenance > Component Management.

2．Find the fr/bi 6/fdl component and click Update. If there are associated components that can be updated, a prompt will appear: "If an update is triggered, components xxx will stop and be updated to the corresponding version."

3．To update to the latest version, you do not need to enter the version number, choose Start Updating > OK directly to perform the update.

• Components will be restarted in an update, which may affect the normal operation of the project. Do not update during use.

• If there is no backup within 24 hours, the update will be terminated. You can update the project after the backup.

Obtaining Image Version Number

Paid users contact the technical support personnel and provide the required product and specified version number, or the approximate date of the JAR package.

Technical support personnel will inform you of the specific image version number.
