[keycloak-user] Migration from Beta-2 to Beta-4

[Marek Posolda]

Hi,

I think that just deploy the new auth-server.war may not be enough... 
You may also need to update keycloak-server.json, themes in 
standalone/configuration and modules (download latest WAR distribution 
for latest files). Also it might be useful to look at 
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.0-beta-4/userguide/html/Migration_from_older_versions.html#d4e1342 
.

For migration whole database content, it might be quite tricky. Keycloak 
is still in development and format of data and DB schema has changed. 
There was quite big refactoring (like splitting the model, renaming 
tables, columns etc). AFAIK we don't officially support migration of 
data between 2 beta versions, so if you have large amount of data and 
it's the issue for you to reimport them again from external source, you 
may need to create some SQL scripts for migrating DB by yourself.

You may start with creating new MySQL DB and just configure it with 
beta-4 and fill some simple data (like create few users in Keycloak UI 
etc). Then if you look at DB, you can see the new format of data and 
what exactly has changed, so it may help you to create SQL scripts for 
migrating your old "beta-2 compatible" DB to new "beta-4 compatible" 
format.

Sorry, I don't have better advice for you ATM:-(
