Hello, It's true that there is a mechanism that helps updating the schema of the database inside the OpenERP framework. (it does not do everything but good part of the schema, not the data). It's usefull when you develop new modules but not sufficient to migrate from one version to another.
But to migrate your instance, you will need an OpenERP Enterprise contract which includes: migration of the database (schema+data) and all services required for this (testing, support for changes, bugs...). Migration of OpenERP is quite complex (like any ERP in the world) that's why it's a service. A part of this service is automated through our migration plateform (http://migration.openerp.com) but we still need several days for each migration because every instance is different. We also have a service to migrate custom or community module. Our goal is to make community modules sustainable in the long term by having prices like 80 EUR to migrate an accounting localisation: - port the code to the new version - upgrade data+schema - migration service More info here: http://v6.openerp.com/node/1311 Thanks, On 01/02/2013 02:16 AM, Phillip Frost wrote: > On Jan 1, 2013, at 6:02 PM, Dale E.
