    “Current remote MongoDB is 4.2.12. WMS requires 4.2.16”

    I don’t remember having installed MongoDB separately from WMS, did I ?

    Not in any of my experience. I’ve made many WMS test servers and the database is in the main upgrade or install file.

    Thanks for your reply, that was I thought.

    Did you succeed to upgrade to WMS 3.5 ?

    Not sure this has anything to do with your upgrade, but we’re getting ready to upgrade our WMS from 3.3 to 3.5. Our Dell SE sent us this step to do ahead of time, as it’s something they’ve seen cause 3.5 upgrades to fail.

    In my lab instance the “LocalRepository” value was blank and I just had to add the repository path to the reg value and I was all set…

    Sorry I didn’t get back to you but, I did upgrade one of my test servers with no problems.

    Hi,

    I just checked the “localrepository” entry. It is not blank and refers to valid location.

    Please someone who performed the upgrade share a md5 checksum of the installer to make sure we’re talking about the same installer.

    My WMS_3.5.exe MD5 is  335fb180996af4e5e7f34e6564f694c4

    (use CertUtil -hashfile <path to file> MD5)

    I installed WMS 3.5 on a different server and copied the files located in “C:\Program Files\DELL\WMS\MongoDB\bin” to our production server and restarted it.  Once it loaded up, I checked the mongod.txt file and it said it loaded db version v4.2.16 (4.2.12 previously).  I then checked the web interface and it worked just fine.  Finally, I ran the WMS 3.5 installer on my production server and it went through and installed.

    Thankfully, WMS 3.5.1 installed right on top of that with no additional modifications.  I also ran a log4j scan from Nessus after the install and it came back clean.

    Hello, I ran into problems when doing the upgrade like IT D mentions to do.
    I can’t find the file “mongod.txt” either??
    Please advise.
    thanks a lot

    That should be located here:

    C:\Program Files\DELL\WMS\MongoDB

    Ok, you mean “mongod.log”?
    Because in that file I can see an entry “db version v4.2.16”

    Yep, it’s just a log file to show that it properly loaded the new version.

    The update to v3.5.0.866 went fine, no errors.
    But now the webpages are no longer available??
    Both don’t work anymore 🙁

    Look for “Dell WMS: MongoDB” and “Dell WMS: Tomcat Service” services.

    They may be not started

    It is often the case for me after a WMS update and a server reboot, I have to start these services manually

    Both services are started.
