Help.
I was upgrading from 2.6.8 up to 2.7.4 but in the process I have made a mistake.
Wondering the best way to move forward.
I accidentally skipped step 8, and went on to step 9 and 10. (Which involved updating/saving 90 fields!)
It wasn't until I noticed that the names of my 2 events were missing that I realized I missed step 8! AAARRGGH!
What's the best way to proceed?
- Immediately go back and do step 8?
- Uninstall and start over?
I'm open for suggestions.
For reference, here are steps 8, 9 and 10 for upgrading.
8. BEFORE YOU MODIFY ANY EVENTS OR RECORDS, Go into the new DT Register control panel on the backend and find the "Migrate 2.6 Records" button. Click that and read instructions on the next page. Click the large migrate button there and this will make sure all of your events and records are updated into 2.7 with all of the old data from 2.6.
9. After completing the upgrade, you need to go to the DT Register Configuration, set all new parameters and SAVE. If you have any issues after upgrading, you should also open all fields and re-save just to make sure that everything was migrated correctly.
10. Open and re-save all current events and all of your fields. Do not just assume that your fields will be displayed as they were before. Lots of changes have been made, so re-save events and fields to make sure everything is set the way you need it.
Well, definitely try the 2.6 Migrate tool. Needs done for sure. It's possible that you'll be ok... but I don't know your exact status or what all has been done... so if you end up with mess after doing it out of order, you may need to reload your 2.6.8 backup and start over. Hopefully not, but it's possible. Let us know (via a ticket) if you need further help. Thanks!
Looks like the "Migrate Records" button is missing. (I watched the upgrade video and see it is supposed to be the last option after "Remove JEvents Sync" button.)
I'll reload the backup and start over.
