The official documentation, “Migrating data from MongoDB 3 to 5”, wants to dump the MongoDB databases in 3.6 and then restore this data into the newly deployed MongoDB 5.

One issue with this process is that we can’t run the two MongoDB versions in parallel on Kubernetes because the provided helm charts and container for MongoDB 3.6 stop running after Kubernetes 1.21. On the other side, the helm chart providing MongoDB 5 can’t be installed on those old Kubernetes versions. So the process to update is:

Migration process

1. Dump databases in MongoDB 3.6 (version delivered with Connections 7)
2. Update Kubernetes to 1.25 or 1.27
3. Restore MongoDB databases to version 5.0

After updating HCL Connections to 8CR3 and Tiny Editors to 4.9.2.24 the lines of tables are no longer visible during editing.

Here is the edit form with Tiny Editors 4.8.2.0:

During a troubleshooting session in Component Pack, I checked the Kubernetes events.

This year, Engage took place at the Felix Meritis in Amsterdam . The Engage board (Hilde, Theo and Kris) did a great job and made this very special conference a great success.
