Summary of upgrade from version 4.8 to version 5.0
Several upgrade tasks are new or require special consideration with the
upgrade from version 4.8 to version 5.0. Apply upgrade tasks as appropriate for your
system design, as follows:
- All systems:
- SiteConfig: Before upgrading GV STRATUS, upgrade your SiteConfig application and Discovery Agent to the latest version. For more info, refer to Grass Valley products compatible with GV STRATUS.
- GV STRATUS Database, GV Log Viewer, and GV Log Manager: These new SiteConfig roles must be assigned before upgrading the GV STRATUS system. For more details, refer to Add software roles for upgrade from version 4.8.
- Copy Metadata, and Export Rights: After the upgrade, existing users and groups do not have these new roles assigned, so you must assign the roles if appropriate. If you create new users and groups, some roles are assigned by default, so you must remove those roles if appropriate. For more details, refer to Old GV STRATUS roles matrix.
- Custom Metadata fields for markers and keywords: After the upgrade, existing users and groups do not have these new fields assigned, so a user with the Media Manager role must assign the fields if appropriate. For more details, refer to Entity Type in Custom Metadata settings.
- Internal system account: If the internal system account for your GV STRATUS system is on a fully qualified domain or is not the default GVAdmin account, configure settings at GV STRATUS Control Panel Core | STRATUS Core Services | Primary Site as appropriate for your system.
