LifeTime, Platform Server downgrade?
Question

Hello.

This is an inquiry regarding database when upgrading LifeTime.

Prior to the upgrade, I backed up the database to a backup.bak file from sql server in the 11.26.0 version of LifeTime. 

For example, at this time , if I only need to restore the database after upgrading from 11.26.0 to 11.28.0, I may need to downgrade LifeTime to 11.26.0, right? 

If downgrade is possible, is database migration work also possible in configration tool?

Hi SungGeun,

As far as I know, LifeTime/Platform Server upgrades are supported, but downgrades are not.

If you upgrade from 11.26.0 to 11.28.0 and later need to roll back, the safest approach is to restore the database backup taken before the upgrade and revert the Platform Server/LifeTime installation to the matching version.

I don't believe the Configuration Tool supports reversing database schema changes made during an upgrade, so rollback should be planned as a full environment restore rather than a downgrade operation.

You may also want to verify the rollback procedure in a non-production environment before proceeding with the upgrade.

Thanks and Regards,
Akshay Deshpande
