Hi all; I am hoping to start work on an upgrade wizard for 1.2 to 1.3 next week, so I figured it would be a good idea to discuss my thoughts here first.
The upgrade wizard would guide you through the process of migrating data from 1.2 to 1.3. It would utilize parts of the 1.3 codebase but operate against a 1.2 codebase as a database superuser. Screen 1: Login (login name, password, database to upgrade) Screen 2: We will now check out your database for problems that might interfere with the upgade. (run queries to check against new unique constraints that are known to be problematic. If problem found go to three, if no problem found go to 4) Screen 3: Problem found.... List problem records. Give an opportunity to correct the problem in non-destructive way. Then continue running query checks, For each problem found repeat this screen. When no more problems found, go to screen 4. Note this will not correct some problems (missing or unrecognized countries) which will be addressed post-migration. Screen 4: Success! You are now ready to upgrade! Prompt for path to contrib files, default country, and default links for AR and AP. Run the main migration script. Look for unrecognized cities, states, and countries. If found, go to screen 5, if not go to screen six. Screen 5: List addresses with problems, and the customer/vendor accounts they are connected to. Provide an opportunity to edit/change. Screen 6: Create database users and passwords for existing LSMB users. Copy list to screen. Passwords will be valid for one week after creation and users will be prompted to change them on first login. Feedback?
