   12: ###
   13: 
   14: # This tool helps in updating a system.  It restores information for
   15: # configuration files (.lpmlsave or other backup notations).
   16: 
   17: # By default, the .lpmlsave suffix is used.
   18: # Alternatively, there can be two other invocations
   19: # Invocation #1:
   20: #   ARGV[0]=suffix
   21: #   ARGV[1]=.bak
   22: # Invocation #2:
   23: #   ARGV[0]=lasttimestamp
   24: 
   25: # The criteria for the lasttimestamp is that the 
   26: # file suffix is a '.' followed by a 14-digit
   27: # time-stamp (YYYYMMDDhhmmss).
   28: # The time-stamp with the greatest value is
   29: # taken as the backup file.

  205: =head1 NAME
  206: 
  207: B<loncaparestoreconfigurations> - restore data to new LON-CAPA conf files
  208: 
  209: =head1 SYNOPSIS
  210: 
  211:  perl loncaparestoreconfigurations suffix .lpmlnew
  212: 
  213: =head1 DESCRIPTION
  214: 
  215: During software upgrades, it is possible that configuration files will change.
  216: It is important to "intelligently" preserve the machine-specific configuration
  217: data.  This script is meant to run B<after> the software upgrade.
  218: 
  219: For example, consider the configuration file F<loncapa.conf>.
  220: During the software upgrade (not performed by by F<loncapa.conf>),
  221: the following happens:
  222: 
  223:  loncapa.conf is NOT overwritten
  224: 
  225: rather,
  226: 
  227:  a NEW file B<loncapa.conf.lpmlnew> is GENERATED
  228:  (cp UPGRADEDIR/loncapa.conf SYSTEMDIR/loncapa.conf.lpmlnew)
  229: 
  230: This script can be described as:
  231: 
  232: =over 4
  233: 
  234: =item *
  235: 
  236: modifying SYSTEMDIR/loncapa.conf.lpmlnew, and
  237: 
  238: =item *
  239: 
  240: the modification consists of reading values from the old loncapa.conf and
  241: placing them in loncapa.conf.lpmlnew.
  242: 
  243: =back
  244: 
  245: Regarding F<loncapa.conf>, for backwards compatibility, this script tries
  246: to read values out of F<access.conf>.
  247: 
  248: This script also currently works with F<smb.conf> (a standard Linux
  249: configuration file associated with sharing the Linux filesystem with
  250: Windows machines).
  251: 
  252: =head2 Working with the file suffix
  253: 
  254: The script is designed to work according to two strategies.
  255: 
  256: =over 4
  257: 
  258: =item * B<aggressive update>
  259: 
  260: In the aggressive update strategy, two things should happen:
  261: 
  262: =over 4
  263: 
  264: =item * The configuration file should be replaced
  265: 
  266: Therefore, the system administrator "trusts" the software update process
  267: and this script to handle everything correctly.
  268: 
  269: =item * Information should never be lost
  270: 
  271: Therefore, a backup copy should be made that is unique to the time
  272: the action is taken and is never overwritten or destroyed by the
  273: automated process.
  274: 
  275: =back
  276: 
  277: =item * B<passive assistance>
  278: 
  279: =over 4
  280: 
  281: =item * The configuration file should not be replaced
  282: 
  283: The system administrator does not trust the software update process.
  284: She would rather have a new file "intelligently" generated, and, only
  285: by her direct approval, have the new file substitute the contents
  286: of the current configuration file.
  287: 
  288: =item * The script should try to help the system administrator
  289: 
  290: Therefore, a new copy is made with the suffix ".lpmlnew".  This
  291: new copy is modified with data from the existing configuration file.
  292: The system administrator is prompted (by the rest of the software
  293: upgrade process) to resolve the new changes to the configuration
  294: file.
  295: 
  296: =back
  297: 
  298: =back
  299: 
  300: Correspondingly,
  301: 
  302:  perl loncaparestoreconfigurations suffix .lpmlnew
  303: 
  304: invokes this script in B<passive assistance> mode; whereas
  305: 
  306:  perl loncaparestoreconfigurations lasttimestamp
  307: 
  308: invokes this script in B<aggressive update> mode.
