DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0009] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0010] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4A system upgrade method based on a business center is applied to a system having multiple business centers and an upgrade center, wherein the system is divided into multiple business centers according to business types, and the upgrade center is used to upgrade the multiple business centers, including the following steps: S1: Obtain an upgrade instruction, and use a service center matching the upgrade instruction as a center to be upgraded; S2: Obtain an upgrade installation package, and generate a new service center according to the upgrade installation package and the center to be upgraded; S3: Start the new service center and close the center to be upgraded; The step S3 includes: sending the data of the lower computer to the new business center and the center to be upgraded respectively; wherein the center to be upgraded only collects the equipment data of the lower computer, and the operation data of the lower computer is pushed to the new business center.

[0011] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the system upgrade method provided by the present invention is divided into multiple business centers according to the type of business center, and the business center as a whole is used as the smallest unit for upgrading. During the upgrade, the business center as a whole is upgraded, thereby ensuring that all programs in the business center that need to work together are compatible with each other. In addition, during the upgrade process, the system upgrade method provided by the present invention transmits the operation data of the lower computer to the new business center, and only the new business center provides services and decisions based on the operation data to ensure the collaborative performance, reliability and consistency of the operation strategy. The center to be upgraded only receives the device data of the lower computer to avoid data loss. The system upgrade method has high reliability and security.

[0012] Furthermore, the step S3 includes the following steps: S301: Determine whether the new service center is successfully started; if so, execute step S302; if not, send a failure log to the upgrade center; S302: Switch the serial port and determine whether the serial port switching is successful; if so, execute step S303; if not, close the new business center and send a failure log to the upgrade center; S303: Determine whether the new business center passes the upgrade verification; if so, close the center to be upgraded; if not, close the new business center and send a failure log to the upgrade center.

[0013] From the above description, it can be seen that the system upgrade method provided by the present invention follows a predefined standardized process, and performs upgrade verification on the new business center during the automatic upgrade process to ensure that the new business center can replace the center to be upgraded, thereby reducing the impact of the upgrade on the normal use of users and improving the reliability and stability of the system upgrade method.

[0014] Furthermore, the step S302 also includes: determining whether all serial ports of the lower computer and the new business center can perform data communication normally; if so, executing step S303; if not, closing the new business center and sending a failure log to the upgrade center.

[0015] From the above description, it can be seen that before closing the center to be upgraded, verify whether the communication connection between the new business center and the lower computer is normal to ensure the reliability of system operation and avoid the loss of operation and maintenance data due to abnormal communication between the new business center and the lower computer.

[0016] Furthermore, during the upgrade process, the underlying transparent transmission program of the lower computer is not upgraded.

[0017] It can be seen from the above description that the system upgrade method provided by the present invention has high reliability and can reduce the risk of data loss of the lower computer.

[0018] Furthermore, the step S2 includes the following steps: S201: Determine whether the upgrade installation package passes the integrity verification; if so, execute step S202; if not, send the failure log to the upgrade center; S202: Generate the new business center according to the upgrade installation package and the business data of the center to be upgraded, and determine whether the new business center is successfully generated; if so, execute step S203; if not, execute step S204; S203: Determine whether the new business center passes the validity verification; if so, execute step S3; if not, execute step S204; S204: The new business center performs rollback and sends the rollback log to the upgrade center.

[0019] From the above description, it can be seen that in the process of generating a new business center, the upgrade installation package is integrity checked, which can prevent the upgrade installation package from being maliciously tampered with or counterfeit upgrades, thereby enhancing the security of the system; when problems occur during the upgrade process, the new business center can be rolled back, and the system can be restored to the state before the new business center was generated, that is, the system is restored to the state before the upgrade, so as to reduce the upgrade risk.

[0020] Furthermore, the step S2 further includes: S205: Determine whether all the centers to be upgraded correspond to the generation of new business centers; if so, execute step S3; if not, return to execute step S203.

[0021] From the above description, it can be seen that in some preferred implementations, multiple business systems can be upgraded in sequence through an upgrade installation package to improve upgrade efficiency, and during the upgrade process, it is determined whether all the centers to be upgraded correspond to new business centers to ensure the integrity and reliability of the system upgrade.

[0022] Furthermore, the method further comprises step S4: the service center has a service name composed of a name and a version number, and a soft link is created according to the name of the center to be upgraded, wherein the soft link points to a new service center that matches the center to be upgraded.

[0023] From the above description, it can be seen that in the system upgrade method provided by the present invention, the service name of the business center is composed of a name and a version number. The method ensures the name consistency of the center to be upgraded and the new business center matching the center to be upgraded by creating a soft link, thereby facilitating the management of system services.

[0024] Furthermore, the step S1 also includes: determining whether a preset upgrade condition is met; if so, executing step S2; if not, sending a failure log to the upgrade center.

[0025] Furthermore, the service center has a service name consisting of a name and a version number; The determination of whether the preset upgrade conditions are met includes: comparing the version number of the center to be upgraded with the version number of the upgrade instruction to determine whether the version number of the upgrade instruction is greater than the version number of the center to be upgraded; if so, the preset upgrade conditions are met; if not, the preset upgrade conditions are not met.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, each business center has a version number, so during the upgrade process, each business center can be upgraded differently without upgrading the entire system, saving system resources and making it easier to implement silent upgrades.

[0034] In the system upgrade method provided in this embodiment, the determination in the above step S1 whether the center to be upgraded meets the preset upgrade condition includes: The version number of the center to be upgraded is compared with the version number of the upgrade instruction to determine whether the version number of the upgrade instruction is greater than the version number of the center to be upgraded; if so, the preset upgrade condition is met; if not, the preset upgrade condition is not met.

[0035] The system upgrade method provided in this embodiment includes step S2: obtaining an upgrade installation package, generating a new business center based on the upgrade installation package and the center to be upgraded, and determining whether the new business center is generated successfully; if so, executing step S3; if not, sending a failure log to the upgrade center.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, step S2 specifically includes the following steps: S201: Determine whether the upgrade installation package passes the integrity verification; if so, execute step S202; if not, send the failure log to the upgrade center; S202: Generate the new business center according to the upgrade installation package and the business data of the center to be upgraded, and determine whether the new business center is successfully generated; if so, execute step S203; if not, execute step S204; S203: Determine whether the new business center passes the validity verification; if so, execute step S3; if not, execute step S204; S204: The new business center performs rollback and sends the rollback log to the upgrade center.

[0037] In this embodiment, the system upgrade method can roll back the new business center when a problem occurs during the system upgrade process, so that the system can automatically restore to the state before the upgrade, which reduces the upgrade risk. The method provided by this embodiment can perform integrity verification on the upgrade installation package before the upgrade to prevent malicious tampering or counterfeit upgrades, thereby enhancing the upgrade security of the system.

[0038] Detailed, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the operation platform sends an upgrade instruction to the operation center, and the operation center forwards the upgrade instruction to the upgrade center, which is used to upgrade each business center; the upgrade center can use the business center that matches the upgrade instruction as the center to be upgraded, and the upgrade center can also obtain failure logs, upgrade logs, and rollback logs, and report the above logs and the upgrade status of the system to the operation center, and then the operation center reports the above logs and the upgrade status of the system to the operation platform.

[0039] In this embodiment, obtaining the upgrade installation package in step S2 includes: downloading the upgrade installation package offline or online, and decompressing the upgrade installation package to obtain an upgrade installation package directory.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, multiple service centers in the system may be upgraded simultaneously using one upgrade installation package. To ensure the integrity of the system upgrade, step S2 further includes: S205: Determine whether all the centers to be upgraded correspond to the generation of new business centers; if so, execute step S3; if not, return to execute step S203.

[0041] The system upgrade method provided in this embodiment includes S3: starting the new service center and closing the center to be upgraded.

Therefore, the system upgrade method provided in this embodiment is usually completed automatically in the background to reduce the impact of the upgrade on the normal use of users and realize silent upgrade. This usage method can improve the user experience.

[0044] In some upgrade scenarios of the energy storage management system, after the upgrade is completed, the system needs to be restarted or the new business center needs to be restarted to switch from the center to be upgraded to the new business center. In order to minimize the impact of the upgrade on the normal use of users, this method can notify the user in advance and let the user choose the restart time.

[0045] In detail, in this embodiment, the step of switching serial ports described in the above step S302 includes: the center to be upgraded includes multiple first serial ports, and the new business center includes multiple second serial ports that match the multiple first serial ports one by one; closing all the first serial ports, and switching the serial ports of other business centers connected to the first serial ports to the second serial ports that match the first serial ports; broadcasting all the second serial ports to determine whether the serial port switching is successful.
