Odoo Online

Odoo databases can be manually upgraded directly from the main Odoo website. To upgrade an Odoo
|
|
database, navigate to the `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_ page and sign in.
|
|
|
|
The database manager page displays all of the Odoo databases associated with the user's account. Any
|
|
databases that are not already on the most recent version of Odoo display an **arrow in a circle**
|
|
icon next to the database name, indicating that the database can be upgraded.

Test database
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Click on the **arrow in a circle** icon to start the upgrade process. On the :guilabel:`Upgrade your
|
|
database` pop-up, select the version of Odoo that the platform will be upgraded to. In the
|
|
:guilabel:`Email to notify` field, enter an email address that will receive email notifications
|
|
about the database upgrade.
|
|
|
|
There is also a :guilabel:`Purpose` section on the pop-up that is used to specify the reason for the
|
|
upgrade. However, at this stage of the process, the only selectable option is :guilabel:`Test`, as
|
|
Odoo requires users to create a test copy of the upgraded database before converting the actual
|
|
database.

|
|
|
|
After filling out the form, click the :guilabel:`Upgrade` button. The pop-up disappears and the
|
|
database being upgraded shows a red :guilabel:`Upgrade in progress` tag next to its name. An email
|
|
confirming that the upgrade is in progress is also sent to the email address specified on the
|
|
pop-up.

|
|
|
|
Once the upgrade is complete, a new test database appears on the `database manager
|
|
<https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_ page. To access the test database, click the drop-down arrow
|
|
(:guilabel:`⯆`) to the left of the main database's name. Doing so makes the test version appear
|
|
below it. Finally, click the green :guilabel:`Connect` button on the right side of the test
|
|
version's row to go to the database.

|
|
|
Except for being on the newer version of Odoo, the test database is an exact copy of the one being
|
|
upgraded. It is important to do extensive testing in this database to ensure that the upgrade has
|
|
not altered or corrupted any data, and that all workflows still proceed as expected.
|
|
|
|
Production database
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
After confirming the integrity of the new version, return to the `database manager
|
|
<https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_ page. Once again, click on the **arrow in a circle** icon next
|
|
to the database being upgraded. The :guilabel:`Upgrade your database` pop-up appears as before,
|
|
except that there is now a :guilabel:`Production` option under the :guilabel:`Purpose` section.
|
|
|
|
Select the :guilabel:`Production` option and then click :guilabel:`Upgrade` to begin the upgrade
|
|
process. As before, a notification email is sent to the email address provided and a red
|
|
:guilabel:`Upgrade in progress` tag appears next to the name of the database.
|
|
|
|
After the upgrade is finished, the :guilabel:`Upgrade in progress` tag disappears and the database
|
|
is upgraded to the version specified.
