Reviewing upgrade history

The Upgrade History module tracks every upgrade made to an instance. You can also view the complete report of an old upgrade or a recently completed upgrade version using this module.

  • Upgrade History related lists: Use the related lists to resolve, track and review the skipped records in an upgrade
  • Visual task board (VTB) view of skipped records: Use the VTB view to see the resolution status of any previous upgrade with skipped records

  • Review skipped records using related lists
    Use different related lists to resolve, track and review the skipped records in an upgrade.

  • Revert a customization
    To prevent customizations from being overwritten by system upgrades, the upgrade process automatically skips changes to objects that have been customized. You may want to overwrite your customizations when a software upgrade contains a feature that you would like to implement.
  • Resolve a skipped update and set a resolution status
    Review the reason for each skipped record to resolve each skipped update after an upgrade.
  • Skipped Records visual task board (VTB)
    View the resolution status of any previous upgrade with skipped records using the visual task board (VTB) view. An upgrade history record is created for each upgrade that is run.
  • View import history
    View your import history by accessing the My Application Import History module.
  • Quick access to plugins and history records
    Reduce the navigating time by directly accessing plugins, application installation history records, and update set commits history records. The filters for the plugins and history records are automatically implemented in the plugins and history records views.
  • Explore upgrade history log
    Reduce processing time by extracting all upgrade related logs into a separate file named database-upgrade_<timestamp>.log. You can also zip the file and attach it to upgrade history.
