Hi,

what is the correct order for updating products/migrating on a Plone 2.1.4 - Plone 2.5.5 migration?

In a mail on the mailing list (http://markmail.org/message/g3mtxr7rrih7gm4i) talking about migration to Plone 2.1 someone says this:


1. If the site contains any AT objects:
a. Reinstall AT (plus PortalTransforms and MimetypesRegistry)
b. Run AT migration (includes schema Migration)
2. Migrate Plone
3. Migrate ATCT

However in the migration guide nothing is mentioned about the order in which things are to be done and in fact we did the following:

1. Migration Plone
2. Recatalogue ATCT
3. Migrate ATCT versions
4. Update schemas

However if follow this order and run a batch update schema on the many products checked as having old schemas in the archetype tool our initial folder display settings are not kept: folders lose their default page settings (unless they are forced as index_html) and are displayed in summary view.

On the update schema page it says "do this at your own risk". But is this mandatory when doing a migration? If so, is there an order in which this should be done in order to keep the display settings? If this is not mandatory what are the risks of our products not working if we don't do it? Or is there something that we have overlooked in the migration process.

Thanks in advance for your help

Marie
