16.01 update - from 15.xx - how do we prevent 16.05 component install?

[#1]

i am having a problem logically understanding how a 16.01 update will not try to install 16.05 components - including the cassandra database update.

is there a set of special instructions that I should have to prevent the absolute latest code from being installed by yum?

We also want upgrade our 15.07 setup. After installation of apigee-setup and apigee-service the apigee repository shows only 16.01 packages.

yum list|grep edge

edge-gateway.noarch 4.16.01-0.0.557 apigee-release

edge-management-server.noarch 4.16.01-0.0.557 apigee-release

Hi @Benjamin Goldman The bootstrap.sh files you download for 16.5 and 16.1 are different. They point to different branches within Apigee repo and build a local repo with pre-requisites based on the OPDK version.

AFAIK you don't have to do anything special for this.. @arghya das & @archendra Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Hi there!

As @sudheendra1 pointed out, when you run bootstrap.sh for 4.16.01, it is setting the certain variables in /etc/yum/vars/ to make sure it pulls the 4.16.01 update only. You can check the following files under /etc/yum/vars/ to validate that you are pointing to the correct repo:

apigeecredentialswithat

apigeepassword

apigeepriostage

apigeereleasever

apigeerepohost

apigeeuser

apigeeexclude

apigeepriority

apigeeprotocol

apigeerepobasepath

apigeestage

For example, cat apigeereleasever should be having '4.16.01'

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Archendra
