detailed description

Figure 1 shows the general scenario of the application software upgrade. B1 is the original version of the application software. All versions after B1 inherit all the functions of B1. At the same time, other functions can be added. The B1a, B1b, and B1c versions are located on the patch branch of B1 and are the patch version of B1. B3a is located on the patch branch of B3. It is the patch version of B3. The patch version is planned to be released at the time point and B1 on the trunk branch. The planned release time of the B2, B3, B4, and B5 versions is not in the order of the sequence. That is, the patch version may be evolved to the B1c version when the backbone branch is evolved to the B2 version. It has evolved to the B4 version. In addition, the later version of the release does not necessarily have more features than the version of the release time. For example, in Figure 1, for example, if B1b is released earlier than B3, B1b will be more than B3. Two functions, this is because, when the software version on the trunk branch evolves to B3, B2 directly inherits the function of B1 (only optimizes the provided functions), and B3 directly inherits the functions of B2; however, from the patch branch From the above point of view, the B1a version is based on B1. The A function has been added, and the B1b version adds B function on the basis of B1a; therefore, the B1b version has two more functions than the B3 version software, namely the A function and the B function.

It should be noted that the time point and function of the version planning release time of a single patch branch or trunk branch are required in sequence. Take Figure 1 as an example. B1b must be created on the basis of B1a. In addition to the version plan of B1b after production. In addition to the B function, it also inherits the A function planned by B1a. B5 must be produced on the basis of B4. In addition to the B and C functions planned for this version, the B5 will inherit the A function planned by the B4 version.

However, the B5 version is used as an example. The B and C functions are planned in this version. After the B4 version is upgraded to the B5 version, in the B4 version, the B and C functions have no configuration data. In the technical implementation, these two functions are often upgraded in the way of new functions. However, it can be seen that the B function is planned and released in the forward versions, such as B1b, B1c, and B3a. In this case, a version difference occurs between B4 and B1b, or with B1c, or with B3a. . The study found that the difference between the forward versions before the software upgrade is one of the reasons that will lead to the failure of this upgrade.

In this embodiment, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the case that determining that the forward version of the first application software includes the first function, the first application software is upgraded to the first application according to the forward version of the first application software. The application software; wherein the first application software does not include the first function.

The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the accompanying drawings.

Optionally, the first function may be one function or multiple functions, and The first function is a function not included in the first application software; that is, the second application software cannot be directly upgraded from the first application software to the application software including the first function.

Optionally, when the first application software is a trunk version, the second application software may be a trunk version or a patch version; when the first application software is a patch version, the second application software is also Patch version.

The forward version of the first application software includes: all trunk versions and/or patch version software released before the first application software release date.

Determining whether the first function is included in the forward version of the first application software includes:

Before this step, if the first function is included in any one or more versions of the forward version of the first application software, in the version software (in order to distinguish from the first application software and the second application software, The following version of the software is referred to as the third application software. When the production is completed, the function label indicating the first function is marked on the third application software; thus, for the backward version of the third application software, the first in the planning When the function is performed, the third application software that already includes the first function can be quickly found through the function label. Therefore, the first application software can be upgraded directly based on the third application software; if, as in the prior art, If no processing is performed on the third application software, when the first application software is upgraded and the first function is added, since it is not clear whether the application software including the first function exists in the forward version, the new function pair is often used. The first application software is upgraded, that is, the configuration parameter of the first function in the upgraded second application software is set to null (null), which , The difference between the second version of the application software and application software will cause third.

Optionally, in an actual implementation, the function label indicating the first function may be marked on the first application software by using a structured query language SQL script in the third application software. A record identifier indicating the first function is added to the database file; or an identifier field indicating the first function is added in the configuration file of the third application software.

Correspondingly, according to the marking manner of the function label, determining whether the version of the function label indicating the first function exists in the forward version of the first application software may be different; for example, when using a SQL script When the function identifier of the first function is marked by adding the record identifier in the database file of the application software, it may be detected whether the database file of all forward versions of the first application software includes the corresponding record identifier, and if the corresponding record identifier is detected, Determining that the forward version application software includes a function label indicating the first function; when the function label of the first function is marked by adding an identifier field in the related configuration file of the application software, the first application software may be detected. Whether the corresponding identification field is included in the configuration file of all forward versions, and if the corresponding identification field is detected, it is determined that the forward version application software includes a function label indicating the first function.

Step 202: When determining that the first function is included in the forward version of the first application software, upgrading the first application software to the second application software according to the forward version of the first application software;

When it is determined that the first function is included in the forward version of the first application software, the first application software is upgraded to the second application software according to the forward version of the first application software;

Optionally, upgrading the first application software to the second application software according to the forward version of the first application software includes:

Configuring a configuration parameter of the first function in the second application software according to a configuration parameter value of the first function in a forward version of the first application software; that is, upgrading the first application software to the first application software During the application software process, the second application software directly inherits all relevant configurations of the first function in the application software of the forward version of the first application software when the first function is added.

Further, after the first application software is upgraded to the second application software, the method further includes Included: a function tag indicating the first function is marked on the second application software.

Determining whether the publishing time includes the first function in a previous forward version of the current version corresponding to the first application software;

If the forward version includes the first function, upgrading the first application software to the second application software according to a forward version upgrade including the first function.

For example, the current version of the current first application software is version N; currently, it needs to be upgraded to version N+1. Version N+1 is a backward version of the current version N; the release time of the version N+1 is after the release time of the current version N. By comparing the comparison between the version contents, the comparison between the configuration information between the versions, or the comparison of the function tags, it is determined that the version N+1 has the function A added with respect to the version N. In order to avoid an upgrade failure, in this embodiment, it is determined whether there is a function A in the forward version issued before the version N, if there is an upgrade directly according to the forward version having the function A. For example, by detecting that the forward version n has the function A, the upgrade is performed directly according to the forward version n. The following is a specific example of the embodiment of the present invention. The method is described in detail below.

Example one

This example uses Figure 1 as an example. When upgrading the application software from the B4 version to the B5 version, plan the new function B in the B5 version relative to the B4 version. In this case, first check whether the forward version of B4 includes the function. B. Assuming that the versions released before the release of the B4 version include B1, B2, B3, B1a, B1b, and B3a, the detection will find that the forward version of B4 contains function B, and the forward version containing function B has B1b and B3a, at this time, according to the preset rule, the B4 to B5 upgrade is performed according to B1b or B3a; optionally, the preset rule may be set as needed, for example, the release time may be selected according to B1b and B3a. The earlier version upgrades B4, and B4 can be upgraded according to the later release of B1b and B3a.

It should be noted that if only one detected forward version containing function B is detected, then B4 can be upgraded directly according to the version.

Example two

The example is still shown in Figure 1. When upgrading the application software from the B4 version to the B5 version, plan the new function B in the B5 version relative to the B4 version. In this case, first check whether the forward version of B4 is included. Function B, optionally, performs detection in the order of all the forward version release times, for example, in the order of the release time from front to back, or in the order from the release time to the front, to the B4 version. Whether the function B is included in the forward version; in the detection process according to the above scheme, when the forward version including the function B is detected, the detection is stopped;

For example, suppose that in the forward version of B4, the results of sorting all versions in the order of release time from front to back are: B1, B1a, B2, B3, B3a, B1b; then, in this order, whether the corresponding version is detected in turn Contains function B. When the B3a version is detected, it is determined that function B is included in B3a; at this time, the detection is stopped, and B4 is directly upgraded to B5 according to B3a.
