Database Schema

Database Schema 2 (since 4.0)

Tables

The sipis database consists of the following tables.

badge
This table contains information necessary for calculating correct badge number for push notifications.
data
This table contains information about user SIP accounts. SIPIS consults this table whenever it needs to create a new SIP client instance.
pushtests
This table contains information about pending and completed push tests.
restart
This table contains state information about all instances currently running on a given SIPIS server. When SIPIS crashes or is restarted it uses this table to recreate all the SIP client instances that were running on it prior to the restart.
selectors
This table holds information about the time when a given selector was last seen by a sipis server.
sipcalls
This table contains information about missed and pending incoming calls that are still waiting to be reported to users.
siptextmessages
This table contains information about incoming text messages that are still waiting to be delivered to users.
tableversions
This table holds versioning information of the other tables in the database.
tokens
This table contains information used to associate selectors with device tokens used for push notifications.

Database migration

This section assumes that you are hosting your own sipis server and you have recently updated from version 3.x to version 4.x.

Sipis version 4.x will work well with the older database scheme, however migrating to the newer scheme will enable sipis to report proper missed call reason to the device, improving call history records.

To migrate to the new database scheme, follow these steps

Create a new empty database

# su postgres
$ psql -c "CREATE DATABASE sipis2 OWNER sipis TEMPLATE template0 ENCODING 'SQL_ASCII';"
$ exit

Stop sipis service

# systemctl stop sipis

Update sipis settings file, keeping the old one around for later reference

Note

It's important that the old settings file DOES NOT end with .xml extension.

# cp /etc/sipis/Settings.xml /etc/sipis/Settings.xml.old

In /etc/sipis/Settings.xml, update the database name in the Sipis/Database[OpenString] attribute, e.g: replace

<Database OpenString="host=localhost port=5432 dbname=sipis user=sipis password=*****" />

with (notice dbname=sipis2 instead of dbname=sipis)

<Database OpenString="host=localhost port=5432 dbname=sipis2 user=sipis password=*****" />

Invoke CreateSipisDb command to migrate the database

We pass both, the new and the old settings file as arguments. This instructs the CreateSipisDb command to migrate data from the old database to the newly created one.

# CreateSipisDb /etc/sipis/Settings.xml /etc/sipis/Settings.xml.old

Start sipis service

If everything went smoothly, then the migration is done at this point and you can start your sipis server again.

# systemctl start sipis

Cleanup

Optionally, you can delete the old database and the old settings file /etc/sipis/Settings.xml.old
