Migration requirements
This document has been split up. When upgrading openDesk, two types of migrations may be required:
- Manual checks and actions: See
migrations-manual.md, which also holds the overview of the mandatory upgrade path and the deprecation warnings. It contains (at least) the details for the last two mandatory releases in the upgrade path, older upgrade instructions are archived inmigrations-manual-archive.md. - Automated migrations between versions, which openDesk runs on its own and which reduce
the need for manual intervention: See
migrations-automated.md, which also holds the catalogue of the available actions.
Important
Please read and follow these requirements thoroughly before starting an update or upgrade. Always run your backup procedure before beginning an upgrade, as rollbacks may require restoring from backup due to non-reversible database changes within the applications.
