Nuxeo Server

Upgrade from 5.1.2 to 5.1.3

Updated: March 18, 2024

Follow Upgrade Nuxeo and apply the following procedure before starting Nuxeo.

While upgrading from 5.1.2 to 5.1.3, you may have to manage with a Blob format issue : that means to patch $JBOSS/server/default/data/NXRuntime/repos/default/repository/nodetypes/custom_nodetypes.xml Take this file, format it with tidy (tidy -wrap 999 -indent -xml) and apply this patch (manually as it can't guarantee any line numbers; add the lines beginning with a "+" if not already present):

+  <nodeType hasOrderableChildNodes="false" isMixin="true" name="ecmmix:content" primaryItemName="">
+    <propertyDefinition autoCreated="false" mandatory="false" multiple="false" name="digest" onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" requiredType="String" />
+    <propertyDefinition autoCreated="false" mandatory="false" multiple="false" name="length" onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" requiredType="Long" />
+    <propertyDefinition autoCreated="false" mandatory="false" multiple="false" name="filename" onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" requiredType="String" />
+  </nodeType>
   <nodeType hasOrderableChildNodes="false" isMixin="false" name="ecmft:content" primaryItemName="">
     <supertypes>
       <supertype>ecmnt:property</supertype>
+      <supertype>ecmmix:content</supertype>
+      <supertype>nt:resource</supertype>
     </supertypes>
    <propertyDefinition autoCreated="false" mandatory="false" multiple="false" name="mime-type" onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" requiredType="String" />
    <propertyDefinition autoCreated="false" mandatory="false" multiple="false" name="data" onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" requiredType="Binary" />
    <propertyDefinition autoCreated="false" mandatory="false" multiple="false" name="encoding" onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" requiredType="String" />
   </nodeType>

Then, you need to re-index your data. Using nuxeo-shell (versus web function in advanced search) is recommended.

Another solution (than patching custom_nodetypes.xml file) is to export then re-import data before and after the upgrade (using nuxeo-shell too); but this method will make you loose versioning information.
