How to upgrade to a global namespace

Community Support

Hi i am looking for setting up temporal XDC for dr purpose.
I already have temporal running in production.

When we set it up intially , i created my namespace as a local namespace and clusterMetadata.enableGlobalNamespace was set to false in the config templates.

Now i want to upgrade this to a global namespace and setup XDC.

Is there a way to upgrade my existing namespace to global namespace?

Or will i have to terminate all my running workflows and cre create them in a new global namespace?

Would be awsome if there is a migration./upgrade path available.

currently there is no built-in way to simply promote / demote a namespace
most functionalities supporting promote / demote are there, but the team may still need to time to wire things together & test

@Yimin_Chen can probably provide more insights

We are aware of this requirement and we understand the pain of lack of this functionality. It is on the top of our internal priority list. I personally will start working on this area starting next sprint. But I cannot give you timeline on when this will be available.

is this being actively worked at presently?

We have added the ability to promote local namespace to global namespace. It is merged in master: Promote local namespace to global namespace by yiminc · Pull Request #2105 · temporalio/temporal · GitHub
