PG3x version 3.1.22 (eisy) - OUTDATED

[bpwwer]

Hello all,

We are very happy to introduce PG3x v3.1.22 for eisy.  This is a minor update to  3.1.21.

The eisy is using a new version of Polyglot version three called PG3x.  PG3x has infrastructure changes to make node servers (and PG3x) more secure.  Both PG3 and PG3x have the same feature set with the exception of a feature in PG3x that allows migration of node servers from PG3 to PG3x.  

For now, Polisy users should remain on PG3 and eisy users will use PG3x.  

This fixes a number of bugs in the original PG3x 3.1.16 release and adds the ability to migrate from Polisy/PG3.

To upgrade PG3x:

1. In the Admin Console, click on Configuration, Upgrade Packages (note, this can take many minutes, depending on how long it's been since you last updated.). 
2. After the upgrade is complete you may need to restart PG3x. From PG3x UI select System-> Restart Polyglot 3x.
3. Once PG3x has restarted, reload /refresh the browser page.

Migrating from Polisy/PG3

1. Make a PG3 backup on the Polisy.  From the PG3 UI select System -> Backup/Restore -> Backup.  This will download a backup file
2. Restore the PG3 backup on eisy.  From the PG3x UI select System -> Backup/Restore -> Migrate from PG3 backup.  Select the Polisy PG3 backup file and when the button changes to "Restore" click it.

Depending on how many node servers need to be migrated it can take a while. The UI should pop up messages showing the status as it migrates node servers.  There are some limitations to the migration process.

1. Only one IoX device can be migrated.  If your Polisy was connected to more than one IoX device (say the local IoP and an i994), the migration process will only migrate one of these and it will use whichever one shows up first when it does it's database query.
2. This will remove any previously installed node servers in PG3x and possibly overwrite them with a node server from the backup.  You should start this process with no node servers installed.
3. Any node servers on the Polisy that were installed from the "Local" store will fail to properly migrate (applies mostly to developers).
4. All node servers will be left in the "Stopped" state.  You will need to manually start each node server after the migration.

 -  remove debugging messages.
 -  Return status = 500 , and error if authentication crashes
