Upgrading Odoo to the most recent version is necessary to benefit from new features, security enhancements, and performance improvements. Odoo is an extraordinarily potent and configurable ERP platform. Still, to guarantee seamless transitions, the Odoo update process needs to be carefully planned and carried out, particularly when a large volume of data and bespoke modules are involved. To improve Odoo systems, Confianz Global Inc. uses a methodical approach. The main processes involved in upgrading Odoo are defined below.

1. Pre-Upgrade Preparation

Complete planning is essential before initiating any update. The first step at Confianz Global Inc. is a thorough examination of the existing Odoo system. By doing this, you can make sure that the current version, modules, database, and customizations are all properly recorded and tracked. Additionally, we guarantee that appropriate backups are set up.

Key tasks in this phase:

  • Reviewing the current Odoo version and requirements for the upgrade.
  • Backing up the current database and custom modules.
  • Auditing all third-party and custom-developed modules for compatibility.
  • Developing a detailed upgrade strategy and timeline.

2. Analyzing and Adapting Custom Modules

Upgrading Odoo might be difficult at times since bespoke modules might not work perfectly with the new version right away. To determine whether these modules need to be modified or completely rewritten, they must first be analyzed to see how they interact with the core system.

Key tasks in this phase:

  • Assessing custom modules for compatibility with the new Odoo version.
  • Refactoring or upgrading the custom modules to work with the new version.
  • Testing the modified modules in a development environment to ensure they function as expected.

3. Database Migration Process

Database migrations to new Odoo versions can be challenging, particularly if there are schema changes or other alterations. Confianz Global Inc. makes use of Odoo's migration scripts to guarantee data integrity at this stage. We ensure that the data and database structure match the most recent Odoo version.

Key tasks in this phase:

  • Running Odoo’s official migration scripts.
  • Handling schema changes and optimizing the database for the new version.
  • Ensuring no data loss or corruption occurs during the migration process.

4. Performing the Upgrade

Once the system is prepped, the custom modules are adapted, and the database migration is planned, we proceed with performing the upgrade itself. This step involves switching over the system to the newer version of Odoo and applying the custom modules and database.

Key tasks in this phase:

  • Deploying the new Odoo version.
  • Installing the upgraded custom and third-party modules.
  • Migrating the database to the upgraded environment.

5. Post-Upgrade Testing

Thorough testing needs to be done after the upgrade to make sure everything functions as it should. Functional and regression testing is done by Confianz Global Inc. to make sure that all business operations are running smoothly and that there are no conflicts between the data, bespoke modules, and the main system.

Key tasks in this phase:

  • Conducting functional testing to verify all Odoo modules are working correctly.
  • Performing regression testing to ensure existing features remain functional.
  • Identifying and fixing any bugs or issues that may arise post-upgrade.

6. Go-Live and Monitoring

As soon as the post-upgrade testing is successfully finished, get the improved system ready for launch. Careful coordination is needed throughout this phase to reduce downtime and guarantee business continuity. Confianz Global Inc. makes sure everything goes properly during the switch from the outdated to the more modernized Odoo platform.

Key tasks in this phase:

  • Scheduling the go-live with minimal disruption to the business.
  • Migrating the upgraded system to the live environment.
  • Monitoring the system for any issues post-launch.
