  • http://<your-serverurl>/PoolParty/!/migrate/upgrade

The script lists all updates that will be done. The migration is triggered clicking Start Migration. A progress bar and an info box show the progress and status of the migration. When the process has been finished an overview of the migration steps per project is provided.

Changes to to the configuration of the PoolParty extraction model have been done. You have to recalculate all extraction models after the upgrade.
