Migration from 0.22.0 to 0.23.0

Database changes

Following DB changes occurred between version 0.22.0 and 0.23.0:

  • Added unique index (activationId, push_token) in table push_device_registration
  • The existing push_device_activation index in table push_device_registration was changed to unique

The DDL script for Oracle:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX PUSH_DEVICE_ACTIVATION_TOKEN ON PUSH_DEVICE_REGISTRATION(ACTIVATION_ID, PUSH_TOKEN);

DROP INDEX PUSH_DEVICE_ACTIVATION;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX PUSH_DEVICE_ACTIVATION ON PUSH_DEVICE_REGISTRATION(ACTIVATION_ID);

The DDL script for MySQL:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX `push_device_activation_token` ON `push_device_registration`(`activation_id`, `push_token`);

DROP INDEX `push_device_activation` ON `push_device_registration`;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX `push_device_activation` ON `push_device_registration`(`activation_id`);

In case either of the index updates fails, delete existing duplicate rows. Rows with newest timestamp_last_registered should be preserved.

Device Registration Changes

Following changes of device registration have been applied in release 0.23.0:

  • A device can no longer be registered with the same activationId and multiple related pushtoken values. This change was introduced because Google and Apple do not always expire existing push tokens. When the device receives a new push token, the device registration endpoint updates the pushtoken value for an existing activation instead of creating a new device registration. Thus the old push token is removed from database.
  • It is no longer possible to register a device without associated activation. The activationId parameter must be always sent with device registration request.
  • It is possible to re-register a device with same activationId and pushtoken. The registration timestamp is updated in this case.
  • It is possible to register a device with multiple activationIds associated with a single pushtoken. Such device registration must be initiated using the new endpoint created for this use case: Create Device for Multiple Associated Activations. Multiple activations are used in master-child activation schemes. The functionality needs to be enabled using a configuration property for enabling multiple activations, because it is less secure than the case when a single associated activation is allowed for a push token.
  • Database indexes are now applied to enforce database consistency for device registrations:
    • The (activationId) value must be unique in the device registration table. Each activationId must have exactly one associated pushtoken.
    • The (activationId, pushtoken) combination must be unique in the device registration table.
