RestrictOldDirectUpdates
Restrictions on upgrades from very old Releases
Openbravo in general allows flexible updating from any older version to any future version.
However if the version from which is updated from is very old that process is already more complex as over time the software stack has likely evolved (Database version, Java version, ...)
Starting 23Q1 release there is a limit put in place on the oldest version from which a direct update is possible.
An update is still possible but requires some extra steps.
How to update in case this applies
In case this limit applies it is required to do two separate updates.
- First to an intermediate (older)version for which the limit does not yet apply
- Then an second update to the latest version
