orangehrm-2.5-upgrader-alpha.3 Released
Posted in General by Gayanath
Just after releasing alpha.2 version of the upgrader, a failure to upgrade was identified when a customer defined in OrangeHRM has more than one projects. This was again found by few community users who tried alpha.2 version soon after releasing it. We decided to fix this issue immediately and release alpha.3 version since no other issues were reported and since this can be the only barrier for many of you to upgrade.
Please share your upgrade experience in comments area and report bugs (if you find any) as explained in upgrade instructions. Thanks again for all the community users who are driving this towards the success.

Upgrade worked beautifully.
One issue noted was that Job Status was not migrated properly and I had to re-add the job status to all the job titles.
Thanks for the great work.

Hi,
upgrade was successful. Thank you very much for this wonderful application.
OrangeHRM was deployed at ours back in mid 2008. Since then everybody is very happy with the software.
Best Regards.

When i try to upgrade from 2.4.2 to 2.5, i am unable to do so. Here are the steps i could reach till.
1) put admin details
2) Version Check - it says
“Congratulations!
Your version is 2.4.2 and supported by orangehrm-2.5-upgrader-alpha.3. Next, upgrader will check for any data incompatibilities. ”
3) Data Check -
“Congratulations!
Upgrader found no data incompatibilities. Upgrader will next create database tables and import data.
Please provide the name of new database for upgrade. Note that new database should be an empty database and should be under database user “nilesh” (database user of current database).”
NOW, when i put the database name and press continue i get error as below -
“Data Import from Current Database
There were errors when importing data. You may delete this database and start with a new one.
0% ”
Please let me know where am i going wrong. I check the update log file and i see many errors there.
