Hi,

I am confussed. The upgrade notes don't mention anything about installing Odoo 15. ¿Is it necessary?

Besides, if I had a new server with odoo 15 and then restored the upgraded database (generated without filestore), Will it includes all the files from my odoo 13 installation?

Regards,

Dionel

Hi Tuna,

The notes on https://upgrade.odoo.com/ explain the major steps:

Download a backup dump (testing purposes / without filestore)
Upload the file using this form
Odoo will perform the automated upgrade process
Right after the successful upgrade you will receive an email with a link to the upgraded database
Restore the file back in your test environment
Test all processes and workflows manually
Report any discrepancies via the helpdesk
Once you completed the testing successfully, you can proceed to upgrading your live database in production
Download your upgraded database from the link in the email and import it onto your live environment

Usually you either install a second Odoo instance on the same server or setup/install Odoo on a new server. For example: installing an Odoo 13 and Odoo 15 on one server or having one server with Odoo 13 and one server with Odoo 15.
You would then make sure that the new Odoo version has your migrated code linked and import your migrated database (which you get back from Odoo SA) on the new Odoo instance.

With kind regards,
Yenthe

Hi Yenthe, I used that way and worked like a charm for a non-customized Odoo Enterprise 11 to 13 and now to 15. Can you give me some pointers on how to upgrade custom modules for an Enterprise instance with custom modules? E.g. we extended hr_employee and hr_contract, some fields are added with the exact same name, other need to be changed, but no idea how. I found openupgrade and openupgradelib, but those only support the community edition, right?

Hello, I have the same problem, I have the database that Odoo generated from the upgrade to version 15.0, but of course, that generates an error for views and fields that no longer exist. What I think is that you should work with migration files. But I'm still validating that it is so, I don't get much documentation about it.
