Retail:Release Process

Contents

Introduction

This document describes the different phases of the release engineering process leading up to the actual build and publication of a openbravo retail release.

Concepts

freeze: we call freeze to promote the changesets to main and branch out backport repositories. for erp, the promotion is done by int-promote. for retail promotion is manual

Servers involved

releaser

Package

Check issues target (normal and emergencies)

Remove permissions to push to the retail repositories (normal) 

ssh code.openbravo.com -p 19198 -lubuntu
ubuntu@code ~ $ su -
code ~ # vi /scm/hg/config/hgrc

[web erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.posterminal erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.discounts erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.config erp/pmods/org.openbravo.mobile.core erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.returns erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.pack erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.poshwmanager erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.poshwmanager.sources erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.sampledata erp/pmods-branches/org.openbravo.retail.posterminal-ehub]
#allow_push = @core
allow_push = staff.rm

Remove permissions to push to the backport repo (emergencies)

Before run the package of a emergency release is needed to remove push permissions to the repo , so no new commits come unexpectedly during the process. 

ssh code.openbravo.com -p 19198 -lubuntu
ubuntu@code ~ $ su -
code ~ # vi /scm/hg/config/hgrc

[web erp/backports/3.0RRxxQy.z]
#allow_push = @core, @packagers
allow_push = staff.rm

code ~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Create config file (normal and emergencies)

Check org.openbravo.agingbalance module version (normal)

org.openbravo.agingbalance is external module added to dependency list of retail.pack.

Send mail to Álvaro Ferraz,Víctor Martínez, David Miguélez to confirm on the module version and promote to QA and the tag of the version exist in mercurial repo.

Check for the version of the modules (normal & emergency)

Modules that needs to be published are:

Create config file (normal and emergencies)

1. Create a local copy of the repositories 

ssh packager@releaser-14.openbravo.com -p19198
cd /home/packager/releaser/retail
TAG=3.0RRyyQx.y
e.g: TAG=3.0RR16Q4.1
./make_release_repo.sh $TAG
cd ~/repos/TAG

2. Get the repos that have changes 

cd ~/repos/$TAG
for repos in $(ls -1 | grep org) ; do echo $repos ; hg log -l1 -R $repos | grep -e "summary" | grep -v "Updated the module version"; done

3. Copy the last config file, e.g: 

cd ~/releaser/retail
cp config_3.0RR16Q4 config_3.0RR16Q4.1

4. And update the TPN and version numbers inside the file.

Important: The org.openbravo.retail.pack must always be TP

Things to be taken care on creating the config file:

Note : For emergencies, update the version for the modules which has new changeset and need to be published.

Example: 

 T 1.3.2120 org.openbravo.retail.discounts
 TP 1.2.2130 org.openbravo.retail.posterminal
 T 1.0.1410 org.openbravo.retail.config
 T 1.0.1010 org.openbravo.mobile.core
 T 1.0.320 org.openbravo.retail.returns
 T 1.0.120 org.openbravo.retail.sampledata
 T 1.0.1510 org.openbravo.retail.poshwmanager
 TP 1.8.330 org.openbravo.retail.pack

Update the version in erp/pmods (normal)

This script will update the ad_module and ad_module_dependency to set the base version for the revision (eg: RR17Q2), so retail team can publish other modules based on this depedency

Note: check there are not outgoing changesets from retail/main to erp/pmods/<reatail-repo> 

 ssh code.openbravo.com -p 19198 -l ubuntu
 cd /scm/hg/repos/main
 for repos in $(ls -1 | grep org); do  echo $repos ; hg out -R $repos; done 
 # if you see changests, then some of the previous emergency release tag is not merged to erp/pmods/<retail-repos>
 # Please do Merge_main_back_to_pi
 # if there are no changesets can proceed to update the update_retail_pi_version as below 
 ssh packager@releaser-14.openbravo.com -p19198
 cd /home/packager/releaser/retail
 ./update_retail_pi_version 3.0RRyyQn 2>&1 | tee ~/logs/update_retail_pi_version-3.0RRyyQn.log
 Example: ./update_retail_pi_version 3.0RR17Q2 2>&1 | tee ~/logs/update_retail_pi_version-3.0RR17Q2.log

Update the main repo and branch out the current release (normal) 

ssh code.openbravo.com
su - 
su - apache
./make_retail_backport_repo.sh 3.0RRyyQn
e.g:
./make_retail_backport_repo.sh 3.0RR17Q2

Enable access to retail repos and backport (normal) 

ssh code.openbravo.com -p 19198 -lubuntu
ubuntu@code ~ $ su -
code ~ # vi /scm/hg/config/hgrc

[web erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.posterminal erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.discounts erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.config erp/pmods/org.openbravo.mobile.core erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.returns erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.pack erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.poshwmanager erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.poshwmanager.sources erp/pmods/org.openbravo.retail.sampledata erp/pmods-branches/ org.openbravo.retail.posterminal-ehub]
allow_push = @core

...

[web retail/backports/3.0RR17Q2]
allow_read = @core, @qa, @contrib, @packaging, issues-ob
allow_push = @packagers, @core

Email retail pmods repos are open for next mp (normal)

Send an email to release management list 

pmods retail repo are open for next release.

Any issue in current release must have separate issue with type "backport" and  target_version 3.0RRyyQn, and the changesets must get in to backport repos
https://code.openbravo.com/retail/backports/3.0RRyyQn/
 
The dates for RRyyQn are the usual ones [1].
 
[1] http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/Release_Policy#ERP_release

Check if there are new issues (repackage)

To decide if a repackage is required, verify if there are new changesets added to the repositories 

cd /home/packager/output/3.0RR17Q2/repos
for repos in $(ls -1 | grep org); do echo $repos; hg in -R $repos; done

Package the release

(Use screen for release process)

Note : Make sure the retail is packaged when erp is packaged, so the retail has the latest erp verion (for normal release only) 

cd /home/packager/releaser/retail
./package 3.0RRyyQn 2>&1 | tee ../../logs/package-3.0RRyyQn.log

./package 3.0RRyyQn build-qa 2>&1 | tee ../../logs/package-3.0RRyyQn.log

Update qa machine (normal)

Machines:

Do system update off all 

/etc/init.d/tomcat stop
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoclean
apt-get --purge autoremove
reboot

Note : There exist multiserver environment for testing (* qa-ms-central, qa-ms-store1, qa-ms-store2), update the application to latest (update steps) only when QA team ask for it, and set "AutoStart=yes"

Amazon search

Test that Retail can be installed in the ERP

  1. Search for the base ERP AMI ERP AMI in Amazon (example if we are testing retail RR16Q2.4 use ERP 3.0PR16Q2.4)
  2. Start an AMI of the ERP
  3. In the ERP
    1. login with Openbravo/openbravo as System Administrator
    2. select testing as instance use
    3. accept the heartbeat
    4. menu instance activation

Merge to main (normal and emergencies)

After run the previous script, if we are releasing a emergency update run

Note: Check if new modules in pi, if no call the script 

cd /home/packager/releaser/retail
./merge-retail-to-main.sh 3.0RRyyQn 2>&1 | tee ../../logs/merge-retail-to-main_3.0RRyyQn.log

Merge main back to pi (normal)

NOTE: currently is under development, needed manually to ensure to pass the module and dependencies versions from main to pi.

NOTE: if publishing a emergency release during release process of a normal release, then not needed to do the merge of tags form main to pi, since when done this merge for the normal release this will automatically done.

Connect to code and using the user that is owner of repos execute: 

./retail-merge-main-pi.sh 3.0RRyyQn 2>&1 | tee retail-merge-main-pi_3.0RRyyQn.log

Push the automation tag (normal & emergency)

automation/pi-mobile is branched to backports path for all release of retail. 

cd /home/packager/releaser/retail
./merge-pi-mobile-tags.sh 3.0RRyyQn 2>&1 | tee ../../logs/merge-pi-mobile-tags-3.0RRyyQn.log

Create new backport repo in code (normal & emergencies)

Close the current used backports repos and create new ones for the next version.

Example: if we publish Q3 create repo for Q3.1, if we publish Q3.1 create Q3.2 

ssh ubuntu@code.openbravo.com -p 19198
su - 
su - apache
cd /var/www

vi hgrc
# e.g. for RR17Q1.2
[web  retail/backports/3.0RR17Q1.2]
allow_read = @core, @qa, @contrib, @packaging, issues-ob
allow_push = @packagers, @core


commit changes to the config repo 

hg ci -m "Grant access to RR17Qx.y backport repo" -u <username <email>>

reload apache2 as root 

ctrl+d
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Mantis (normal and emergencies)

Go to https://issues.openbravo.com , and select manage -> projects -> retail modules.

In the versions mark the current RRyyQn version as released.

Create a new target versions of the type of the just published. Idea is that should be two actives branches in each thread. For example should be 2 normal released available, 2 target versions of q1.x and 2 target versions of q3.x.

Release notes (normal and emergencies)

Add CS date to calendar (normal)

Add to calendar the day to pass CS, it is fixed date, the last day of moth in two months after the publish in qaa.

Announcements (normal and emergencies)

For announce this change search for previous release mail, and edit it accordingly:

Update demo (normal and emergency if last)

1. Run the retail demo package job

Retrieve the resulting demo ip from the https://ci.openbravo.com/job/int-demo-prepare-clone/ job. Note that both ERP and Retail execute this job

2.Check version in clone 

 login http://<ip>/openbravo 
 Help -> about (check for version)

Send an email to team.retail@openbravo.com, (get the ip from the mail sent by demo-pacakge job) 

e.g.:
Demo machine for yyQn.m is ready for testing
backend : http://<ip>/retail
webpos : http://<ip>/retail/web/org.openbravo.retail.demologinpage/?terminal=VBS-1#login

3. If ok, run the demo publish job.

DEMO = retail
NOTE: This job is the same of the ERP.

4. check if the login works correctly in demo-eu1 and demo-us1

Confirmed Stable promotion (normal and emergencies)

When the MP was for 40 days in QA Approved it's needed to promote it to Confirmed Stable, 

cd /home/packager/releaser/retail
./promote_cs 3.0RRyyQn 2>&1 | tee ../../logs/promote_cs-3.0RRyyQn.log
INFO: Folders for 3.0RRyyQn in ~/repos, ~/output can be removed after promote to Confirmed stable maturity.

Update the status in the Retail Release Notes page from QAA to CS

Update the Release Notes of the particular release, e.g: 3.0RR16Q4.2

Check update to CS works

  1. Start an ec2 instance with old release version
  2. Change the maturity to CS
  3. Scan for updates and check it updates all the modules to version released

Test CS

  1. Start an ami of erp in CS just published (example if we are testing retail 16q2.4 use erp 16q2.4)
  2. Activate the instance (ci retail demo key)
  3. Check that is configured to search in CS status
  4. Search for 'Openbravo for Retail'
