• Bug Type: Database Upgrade

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up properties for db upgrade client(There are two ways to do this, and both of them should be tested)
2. cd into a directory which doesn't contain the client's jar
   For example, if the client is in /liferay-home/tools/portal-tools-db-upgrade-client, just cd into /liferay-home
3. run the client using java -jar /path/to/client.jar
   For example in 1), run "java -jar tools/portal-tools-db-upgrade-client/com.liferay.portal.tools.db.upgrade.client.jar"

Expected:

The upgrade runs well

Actual:

The upgrade can't run due to class not found

 

Two ways to set up properties for DB Upgrade Client:

1) Set properties on console

    a. Execute com.liferay.portal.tools.db.upgrade.client.jar directly, and follow the prompt to set up properties

2) Modify *.properties to set properties

    a. Modify *.properties files in same folder as com.liferay.portal.tools.db.upgrade.client.jar

    b. "dir" in app-server.properties and "liferay.home" in portal-upgrade-ext.properties are relative path to where current folder is, you can also set absolute path to these two properties.
