Upgrade
Upgrade the License
If the license is going to expire, the upgrade can be done replacing the flexter.lic file done in the Post Installation .
Replace the license file where it exists in one of these paths:
# For all users
/etc/flexter/conf/flexter.lic
# For the current user
~/.config/flexter/flexter.lic
# same directory that you are launching a flexter command
./flexter.lic
Upgrading Repository’s packages
If the Repository Setup where done before, you can upgrade through it.
YUM/DNF Repository
Upgrading to latest version
$ sudo yum --enablerepo=sonra-flexter update xml2er xsd2er json2er merge2er flexchma flexter-ui
Upgrating to the specific version
$ sudo yum --enablerepo=sonra-flexter update xml2er-2.11.3 xsd2er-2.11.3 json2er-2.11.3 merge2er-2.11.3 flexchma-2.11.3 flexter-ui-2.11.3
APT Repository
The apt repository might be disabled by default, you can check it or run the enable script
Enabling the Repository
Edit the sonra-flexter.list
$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonra-flexter.list
Then uncomment it removing the # in the bignning of the line
#deb [arch=all] https://nexus.sonra.io/repository/apt-releases releases main #Sonra Flexter
Or run the script which removes the comment automatically
$ sudo sed -ri 's/^([^#])/#\1/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonra-flexter.list
Upgrading
Upgrading to latest version
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade xml2er xsd2er json2er merge2er flexchma flexter-ui
Upgrading to the specific version
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade xml2er=2.11.3 xsd2er=2.11.3 json2er=2.11.3 merge2er=2.11.3 flexchma=2.11.3 flexter-ui=2.11.3
The repository is enabled by default. We recommend to disable it after installations to avoid unwanted upgrades, eg. when the server administrator wants to upgrade the server packages, not Flexter itself.
Disabling the Repository
To do that edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonra-flexter.list and comment the relevant section as below:
#deb [arch=all] https://nexus.sonra.io/repository/apt-releases releases main #Sonra Flexter
or run the script to do same:
$ sudo sed -ri 's/^([^#])/#\1/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sonra-flexter.list

Upgrading the packages - with root access
Move old packages to a backup folder
$ sudo mv /usr/share/flexter /usr/share/flexter_$(date --iso-8601)
Then, the next procedures are similar to the installation.
# flexchma
$ tar xzf flexchma*.tgz -C /usr/share
# xml2er
$ tar xzf xml2er*.tgz -C /usr/share
# xsd2er
$ tar xzf xsd2er*.tgz -C /usr/share
# json2er
$ tar xzf json2er*.tgz -C /usr/share
# merge2er
$ tar xzf merge2er*.tgz -C /usr/share
# flexter-ui
$ mkdir -p /usr/share/flexter/flexter-ui
$ tar xzf flexter-ui*.tgz -C /usr/share/flexter/flexter-ui
Upgrading the packages - without root access
$ sudo mv ~/.local/share/flexter ~/.local/share/flexter_$(date --iso-8601)
Then, repeat the same procedures as the installation
# flexchma
$ tar xzf flexchma*.tgz -C ~/.local/share
# xml2er
$ tar xzf xml2er*.tgz -C ~/.local/share
# xsd2er
$ tar xzf xsd2er*.tgz -C ~/.local/share
# json2er
$ tar xzf json2er*.tgz -C ~/.local/share
# merge2er
$ tar xzf merge2er*.tgz -C ~/.local/share
# flexter-ui
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/flexter/flexter-ui
$ tar xzf flexter-ui*.tgz -C ~/.local/share/flexter/flexter-ui
Post Upgrade
A few extra procedures are needed to complete the upgrade.
Upgrading the Database
# For all users
$ flexchma update
# or with parameters
$ flexchma update -m "jdbc:postgresql:[<host>[:port]/]<db>" -M <user> -w <password>
Upgrading the Apache Spark

$ ~/.local/share/flexter/sbin/download.sh
More details at the Post Installation section.
Restarting flexter-ui
After the upgrade, the services might require be restarted to take affect.
flexterui-backend
$ systemctl restart flexterui-backend
flexterui-frontend
Optional, if the the env.json is set in the production mode
$ systemctl restart flexterui-frontend
