Upgrading from Senzing API 1.9 to 1.10

Configuration Changes

The g2/data/g2core-config-upgrade-1.9-to-1.10.gtc file contains the commands to update your g2config.json to the new version.  It adds some feature elements (FELEM) to facilitate creating additional keys if desired.

WARNING:  Please note that the shipped g2core-config-upgrade-1.9-to-1.10.gtc file does NOT include a save command at the end.  Without the save the g2config.json file is left unchanged. To resolve this do one of the following:

1. Edit the gtc file and add a "save" line at the end before you run it

2. Copy/paste the commands in to G2ConfigTool.py and manually run save

3. Use the attached gtc file that has been edited to add the save

Schema changes

New SYS_VARS and SYS_CFG tables are added to the repository.  After downloading and extracting the Senzing 1.9 tgz file, find the g2core-schema-<DB Type>-upgrade-1.8-to-1.9.sql file appropriate for your database and execute it.  Since it is just adding an empty table and index it should be instantaneous.

This new tables supports the G2Engine API's ability to share configurations and store installation variable such as configuration versions.

Other items

Also, this version is also available as an RPM via a public yum repository.  We are putting this packaging in a public Beta.  The rpm uses a more standardized file structure and adds the concept of a system based install that is used to create projects.  As we roll out the details we will post a link to that information here.
