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:

The following steps must be performed:

Document Templates
- Statement Items (OVPMS-2083)
  reports/Reporting/Debtors/Statement/<Size>/Statement Items.jrxml

Report Templates
- Insurance Claims Report (OVPMS-2034)
- Product List Report (OVPMS-2121)
- Product Price Structure Report (OVPMS-2121)
- Product Price List Report (OVPMS-2121)

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

Configure the Scheduling Refresh
Configure the Appointment and Task caches, to avoid cache thrashing when enabling automatic schedule refreshing
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
