I have a database created for Assisi version 2022.1.15. I'd like to open this database in version 2024.2.6. When I try to do this I see an error message as follows:
What are the steps I need to take to update my database so I can open it in my newer version of Assisi?
Run the Design Checker to find all the differences an older database has compared to a current version. The tool will highlight the differences that must be fixed before Assisi will properly work with your older data base.
Open the tool by clicking File | Connect. Then select your older database and click the Check Database Design button. The tool will run through all the required tables and fields to find differences from the design standard. The design standard is by definition the sample database that is installed when Assisi is setup. You should see something like the following as it runs its checks. The items in red are differences that must be changed. It can help by opening your old and the design database side by side too. The number of changes can be small to large depending on how old your database is.
Oh, be sure to first update the Version setting in the Configuration table. Version has to match before Assisi will connect or run design checks.
Hope this helps!
