Neo4j upgrade from 4.x to 5.x failed with store format

Hi Team,

I have a docker environment with neo4j 4. x version installed and the data we are storing in the persistent volume

When I upgrade neo4j from 4.x to 5.x. I am facing the below exception. Kindly help me on the same.

NEO4JLABS_PLUGINS has been renamed to NEO4J_PLUGINS since Neo4j 5.0.0.
The old name will still work, but is likely to be deprecated in future releases.

If you haven't already, be sure to follow the steps in this guide: Neo4j v5 upgrade and migration - Upgrade and Migration Guide

Specifically, there are steps for migrating configuration files and database store formats using the neo4j-admin command.

Hi @lyonwj

In Docker, i have installed neo4j v5.x and I have run the entry script as well.

Before starting the neo4j. I have run the below command to execute the migration

Command
/var/lib/neo4j/bin/neo4j-admin database restore neo4j --from-path=/backups_dev_neo4j-taxonomy_neo4j_20210805044704.dump --force-btree-indexes-to-range

but it failed to execute. Can you please help me with the same
Error
Unmatched arguments from index 1: 'restore', 'neo4j', '--from-path=/backups_dev_neo4j-taxonomy_neo4j_20210805044704.dump', '--force-btree-indexes-to-range'
Did you mean: import?

Looking forward to your responce

Hi @mahesh_jayachan,

You should follow the migration guide. Your command is wrong because you are trying to restore and migrate the indexes with the same command which does not exist.

  1. First restore with:
    neo4j-admin restore database neo4j --from-path=/backups_dev_neo4j-taxonomy_neo4j_20210805044704.dump

  2. Migrate the indexes:
    neo4j-admin database migrate neo4j --force-btree-indexes-to-range

I hope this helps you solve the issue but please follow the guide and commands one by one carefully.

Hi @busymo16

I have tried the below command to restore but still failing.

command
/var/lib/neo4j/bin/neo4j-admin database restore neo4j --from-path=/backups_dev_neo4j-taxonomy_neo4j_20210805044704.dump
error
Unmatched arguments from index 1: 'restore', 'neo4j', '--from-path=/backups_dev_neo4j-taxonomy_neo4j_20210805044704.dump'
Did you mean: import?

Hi @mahesh_jayachan,

the error speak clearly itself. You trying to restore a dump which is not possible. You restore a backup and import a dump. Please change the command to neo4j-admin import instead of neo4j-admin restore

Hi @busymo16

When i execute below load command

Command
neo4j-admin database load --from-path=/backups/ neo4j --overwrite-destination --verbose

Step 1: In Terminal run this:
bin/neo4j-admin database info neo4j
The result should show the store format version like:
Database in use:              false
Store format version:         SF4.3.0
Store format introduced in:   4.3.0

Step 2: To get the correct store format matching with version 5.x this is what I tried and it worked.

In Terminal run this to create a new db with a different name
bin/neo4j-admin database copy neo4j neo4jx --force

Step 3: Once step 2 is successful repeat Step 1 changing the db name to neo4jx.
The result should show the 5.x version store format.

Step 4: Open your db, select 'system' db from drop down and run CREATE DATABASE neo4jx

This worked for me thank you!

I was stuck otherwise as I couldn't migrate and couldnt load the 4.4 db file into a 5.3 version system that I already had.

Am glad it worked for you. Thanks for your appreciation.
