     47      <title>Important information for upgrading to the current release</title>
    5048      <para>
    51         If your BASE is an older 2.x version you'll need to upgrade
    52         to BASE 2.17 before an upgrade to BASE 3.0 is possible.
    53       </para>

    55       <warning>
    56         <title>Make sure that you have a recent backup of the BASE 2.17 database</title>
    57         <para>
    58           Before starting the upgrade from BASE 2.17 to BASE 3 ensure that you
    59           have a recent backup. If the upgrade fails you must restore the
    60           2.17 database before you can try again. The upgrade only changes the
    61           'static' part of the database, so you do not have to restore the
    62           'dynamic' part or the uploaded files.
    63         </para>
    64       </warning>
    65 
    66       <bridgehead>Old plug-ins and extensions may not work</bridgehead>
    67       <para>
    68         The BASE API has changed in several places and it is not certain that
    69         plug-ins and extensions developed for BASE 2 works with BASE 3. The
    70         upgrade will disable all plug-ins and extensions that are currently installed.
    71         Before you upgrade we recommend that you go through all (external) plug-ins
    72         and check if there is an updated version. The recommended approach
    73         is to first upgrade BASE and then install updated versions of plug-ins
    74         and extensions following the instructions in <xref
    75         linkend="plugins.installation"/>.
     49        This section list some important information that may or may not
     50        apply when upgrading from the <emphasis>previous</emphasis> BASE
     51        release to the current release (eg. 3.1.x to 3.2.x). If you are
     52        upgrading from a BASE installation that is older (eg. 2.x or 3.0.x to
     53        3.2.x) you should also read <xref linkend="appendix.update_warnings" />.

     56      <bridgehead>Custom logging implementations must be updated</bridgehead>
    7857      <para>
    79         If there is no updated version of a specific plug-in you may try
    80         a manual re-installation of the old plug-ins. Follow the instructions
    81         in <xref linkend="plugins.installation.manual" />.
     58        The plug-in functionality for custom logging has been converted
     59        to an extension point. The default database logging will continue
     60        to function, but custom logging implementations must be converted
     61        to an extension. See <xref linkend="appendix.incompatible.3.2" /> and
     62        <xref linkend="extensions_developer.logging" /> for more information.
    8263      </para>
    83      
    84       <para>
    85         If there is no updated version and the old plug-in doesn't work with
    86         BASE 3, you'll need to decide if you really need the plug-in or if
    87         the upgrade should wait until a new version of the plug-in
    88         has been released.

    92       <para>
    93         There are several changes to batch item importers that may affect
    94         current workflows and file templates used for importing data.

    101             Instead a 'parent type' column should be used with
    102             the parent type as a string value (BIOSOURCE, SAMPLE or EXTRACT).
    103             Existing importer configurations and file templates may have to be
    104             updated. If no parent type is specified the sample importer assumes

    113             importer configurations. The old labeled extract importer can be
    114             re-enabled, but note that the existing configurations still need
    115             to be changed due to the 'pooled' column is no longer used.

    131             bioassay importer configurations.

    149         We have only tested BASE 3 with PostgreSQL 9.1. If anyone
    150         experiences any issues with earlier PostgreSQL versions, we
    151         recommend an upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.1. This is a change since
    152         BASE 2 which was tested with PostgreSQL 8.4. Even though BASE 3
    153         may work with older PostgreSQL versions, we don't have the resources
    154         needed to test and provide support for it.

    158         We have only tested BASE 3 with MySQL 5.1 (no change since BASE 2).
