Release Checklist

Checklist to perform a Release

Step 1. SVN

Merge the Branch into the Trunk
Right-click the TortoiseSVN >> Check for modifications against the SVN Trunk to list all changes
Update the Client version X.Y.Z in the file client\js\app.constant.js:

const C_APP_VERSION = "X.Y.Z";

Diff (merge where appropriate) the Server configuration files in the server\PxStat\Web.*.config
Diff (merge where appropriate) the Server configuration files in the server\PxStat\appsettings.*.json
Update the Server version X.Y.Z in the file server\PxStat\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("X.Y.Z")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("X.Y.Z")]

Commit any above change into Trunk
Create a Tag against the relevant version
Create a Branch against the next relevant version

Step 2. Deployment

N.B. The following procedure must be repeated for every environment, starting from Test. If successful, then proceed with the Live one. N.B. Take a backup of the currently deployed system.

Server Code

Enable the maintenance mode by setting the property API_Config.API_MAINTENANCE to true in the appsettings.json. This is highly recommended for the Live environment to freeze the application and avoid any issue during the upgrade of all Tiers (Server, Database, Client).
Publish the server compiled code using Visual Studio from the SVN Tag in the relevant environment

Upgrade / Migration

Build the upgrade program using Visual Studio from the SVN Tag in the relevant environment
Execute the upgrade program and follow instructions on screen

Client Code

Delete the source code in the relevant environment
Export the client source code from the SVN Tag in the relevant environment

Step 3. Verification

Disable the maintenance mode by setting the property API_Config.API_MAINTENANCE to false in the appsettings.json of the published Live environment to unfreeze the application.
Check each environment is up and running
Check the Application version in the page footer is updated as expected

Step 4. GitHub

Delete the content of the client, server, db, upgrade folder in the GitHub repository
Export the content of the client, server, db, upgrade folder from SVN Tag in the GitHub repository
Right-click TortoiseGit >> Check for modifications against the GitHub repository to list all changes
Diff (merge where appropriate) the following Client files:

client\index.html (Pay attention to retain the white label Favicons)
client\Web.config
client\js\env\app.env.js

Diff (merge where appropriate) the following Server files:

server\Web.config
server\Web.Test.config
server\Web.Live.config
server\appsettings.json
server\appsettings.Test.json
server\appsettings.Live.json
server\log4net.json
server\log4net.Test.json
server\log4net.Live.json
N.B. Double-check the above files to ensure that all sensitive information have been stripped/anonymised (i.e. usernames, passwords, IP addresses, etc...)

Diff (merge where appropriate) the following UnitTest files:

server\PxStatCore.Test\appsettings.json
N.B. Double-check the above appsettings.json to ensure that all sensitive information have been stripped/anonymised (i.e. usernames, passwords, IP addresses, etc...)

Add / Delete any relevant file where appropriate across the client, server, db folder
Commit the GitHub changes and list the Issues into the commit message
Push the GitHub changes
