Upgrading from FishEye to Crucible
If you have been using FishEye and now want to move to Crucible it is possible to do this without losing your FishEye repositories.
We strongly recommend you make a backup of your data before you follow the below steps.
If you have FishEye configured to use a FISHEYE_INST directory:
- Download Crucible and unzip the archive.
- Get an evaluation license and place it (crucible.license) in your FISHEYE_INST directory.
- Leave your FISHEYE_INST environment variable set to its existing location.
- Start Crucible from the new installation by running CRUCIBLE_HOME/bin/run.sh (Use run.bat on Windows). CRUCIBLE_HOME being the folder that you unziped the archive.
- You can access Crucible immediately by going to http://HOSTNAME:8080/ in a browser.
- If you do not already have user accounts configured this will need to be done via the Administration screens or by configuring Crucible/FishEye to use external authentication To add users, you can access the Administration screen at http://HOSTNAME:8080/admin/ and then go to Global Settings | Users/Security. Details about the different ways of creating users can be found here
- Crucible can email each review participant on a range of changes, each user can then setup their own preferences, this is described in the User Profile guide. In the meantime though the SMTP Server needs to be setup.
If you are not using FISHEYE_INST:
- Download Crucible and unzip the archive to your desired install location (CRUCIBLE_HOME).
- Get an evaluation license and place it (crucible.license) in CRUCIBLE_HOME
- Copy your existing config.xml into CRUCIBLE_HOME.
- You can access Crucible immediately by going to http://HOSTNAME:8080/ in a browser.
