Yes, you have to upgrade to 3.2.latest first (where latest is 16 at the moment). - Renée -- Perl / OTRS development: http://perl-services.de OTRS AddOn repository: http://opar.perl-services.de

Thanks Renee.

It is actually suffucient to apply the database upgrades in order. I upgrade from an old largely unmaintained Debian wheezy package to Debain jessie recently. I upgraded the package using apt, then grabbed the upgrade *.sql from the 3.2 package, applied that, and then applied the upgrade SQL from 3.3. You do not need to double-upgrade the whole installation.

I¹m quite sure this is not correct. Probably it¹s not necessary to update all the files. But beside the SQL there are other pre- and post-DB scripts you should run. They are responsible for doing conversions (like the one from FreeText to DynamicFields with upgrade 3.0->3.1), as well as other important tasks (installing scheduler, Š). In short: to be sure, just do the complete upgrade path. Jan Dreyer IT Administrator ‹ Operations ‹ A-SCM-IT NMD Expert

AFAIK this process /is/ correct. E.g. a "clean migration" to an other system would consist of * Do a clean install of the newest OTRS version * Transfer your settings files * Replace DB of fresh installation by the one from the old install * Run through all (!) required DB upgrade steps (3.1->3.2->3.3-> etc.) This also makes sure you don't drag along lots of outdated files with your installation. If that works, the update procedure described by Dominik George should work, too. The crucial point is that no matter how big the (file) upgrade step is, the database upgrade procedure /always/ has to be followed to the point. AFAIK there are no pre- or post-DB scripts to consider. Everything is done by the main database upgrade script. E.g. in the OTRS 3.1 manual it says "A database update script will transform historic FreeText fields and related configuration settings into the new structure".

I agree. And the DBUpdate-to-x.pl scripts, that are definitely needed, should always run on their corresponding code base. Best regards, Martin Am 24.11.14 um 14:03 schrieb Jan.Dreyer@bertelsmann.de:
