Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Philip Harle <>]

Hi,

We're currently upgrading of a clone of our live Grouper 2.2.2 installation 
to 2.3.0 using the grouperInstaller upgrade method.
We've managed to upgrade the API, UI and WS, and all is looking well. I'm now 
working on upgrading the PSP and have hit an issue.

The background PSP sync (run as part of our grouperloader service) isn't 
working and we're seeing the following in grouper_error.log:

2016-10-14 15:10:00,028: [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-7] ERROR 
ChangeLogHelper.processRecords(252) -  - Error

ChangeLogHelper.processRecords(283) -  - Did not get all the way through the 
batch! -1 != 3301919

From what I can tell this is because we had a small number of entries in 
grouper_change_log_entry with a NULL context_id. I cleared these out of the 
table, and the error no longer appeared in the log. However, when making any 
change in grouper it is still creating a new entry in the table with a NULL 
context_id.
Any ideas why this might be the case?


Our eventual plan is to move away from PSP in favour of PSPNG, but I feel we 
need to fix the above issue before proceeding.
Although, as an aside, can PSPNG be installed using the grouperInstaller on 
an installation that has been upgraded from 2.2, or do we need to 
install/configure it manually?


Thanks,
Phil
