Zowe upgrade feature (zowe-upgrade-component.sh) - possible issues #2162

Open vit-tomica opened 3 years ago

vit-tomica commented 3 years ago

I can see two issues in the new zowe upgrade process PR-2142 using the zowe-upgrade-component.sh script.

  1. As a result of upgrade of existing zowe installation, the manifest.json file will be in a conflict with the upgraded components in the runtime directory because the manifest.json file is not updated anywhere during the upgrade process.

  2. Currently the zowe upgrade process may pull down components that were not tested together and so they may be incompatible.

Thanks Vit, I agree with these issues, the script is not ready yet for being safetly used by the customer, so we will state the risks in Zowe doc defining this step as optional and that might cause such problems.

Question, do we still want this feature in v2? Currently it's marked as tech preview.
