- CTA Frontend has configurable maximum file size limit (cta.archivefile.max_size_gb), default 2TB
- Backward-compatible Catalogue schema changes:
- CTA_CATALOGUE table contains a status that can be 'UPGRADING' or 'PRODUCTION'. If the status is UPGRADING, the columns NEXT_SCHEMA_VERSION_MAJOR and NEXT_SCHEMA_VERSION_MINOR will contain the future version number of the schema.
- INDEXES and CONSTRAINT renaming to follow the naming convention
- UNIQUE CONSTRAINT on ARCHIVE_ROUTE (UNIQUE(STORAGE_CLASS_ID, TAPE_POOL_ID))
- Creation of an INDEX ARCHIVE_FILE_DFI_IDX on ARCHIVE_FILE(DISK_FILE_ID)

- CASTOR-To-CTA migration improvements
- Better cta-admin parameter checking and column formatting
- cta-admin --json handles user errors from the Frontend by outputting an empty array [] on stdout and error message on stderr. Error code 1 is returned for protocol errors and code 2 is returned for user errors.
- CTA Frontend logs which FST sent the archive request
- eos-4.6.8 which brings the delete on close feature
Before updating CTA, the Catalogue schema should be upgraded. Here is the link to the documentation about the database schema updating procedure : https://eoscta.docs.cern.ch/catalogue/upgrade/
The liquibase changeLog file is already done so you can directly run the liquibase update command with the changeLogFile located in the directory CTA/catalogue/migrations/liquibase/oracle/1.0to1.1.sql.
