Upgrading OpenVPMS

See Upgrading an existing system for general instructions on upgrading from an earlier release.

Users upgrading from an earlier 2.0.x release must perform the upgrade tasks listed in the subsequent releases first:

Users upgrading from the 2.1 beta release can skip to Upgrading from OpenVPMS 2.1-beta-1

The following steps must be performed:

  1. migrate the database
  2. load archetypes
  3. Load new and updated templates
  • Document Templates
    • Statement Items (OVPMS-2083)
      reports/Reporting/Debtors/Statement/<Size>/Statement Items.jrxml

 

  1. Update Email Templates
    Email Templates used for reminders that use Expression or Macro for the Content Type need to be updated if they expect a party.customerperson object. An act.patientReminder is now passed.
    The customer can be accessed using $customer. E.g.:
  • $customer.firstName
  • $customer.lastName
  1. Configure the Scheduling Refresh 
  2. Configure the Appointment and Task caches, to avoid cache thrashing when enabling automatic schedule refreshing
  3. Configure plugins
    If you are running OpenVPMS 2.0 plugins, these will need to be redeployed for OpenVPMS 2.1.
    If you were using the PetSure VetHub plugin, you will need to contact PetSure for the latest version.
    NOTE: contact PetSure to enable gap claims for your practice

Upgrading from OpenVPMS 2.1-beta-1

Users upgrading from OpenVPMS 2.1-beta-1 need only:

  1. migrate the database
