This module provides the tool to generate the database analysis files that indicate how the Odoo data model and module data have changed between two versions of Odoo. Database analysis files for the core modules are included in the OpenUpgrade distribution so as a migration script developer you will not usually need to use this tool yourself. If you do need to run your analysis of a custom set of modules, please refer to the documentation here:
This module is just a tool, a continuation of the old openupgrade_records in OpenUpgrade in previous versions. It's not recommended to have this module in a production database.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0This module compares the data model of two Odoo databases (an old and a new version) and produces analysis files that list what changed in modules, models, fields and XML records. It is a migration tool, not meant for production use.
Upgrade Analysis is a technical migration tool. It lets you register a connection to another Odoo server (server, port, database, user, password) and test that connection. From a comparison configuration you can launch a new analysis, which reads the model and data definitions of both databases and writes the differences to files.
In Odoo it appears under Administration as the "Upgrade Analysis" menu, with submenus for Upgrade Analyses, Comparison Configurations, Records, and two wizards: Generate Records Wizard and Install Modules Wizard.
- The analysis screen has a "Perform Analysis" button; it records the analysis date, compares fields, XML records and models, and shows a log. Results can be written to module directories or kept in the log.
- The Records screen stores the captured definitions (fields, XML IDs, models) with their attributes, and can dump field information.
- The Generate Records Wizard rebuilds the records table by reinstalling all installed modules.
- The Install Modules Wizard helps select and install modules, with buttons to select Odoo modules, OCA modules, other modules, all installable modules, or unselect all.
- It also adds two computed flags on modules: whether a module is an Odoo module and whether it is an OCA module.
It touches ir.module.module, upgrade.analysis, upgrade.attribute, upgrade.comparison.config, upgrade.record and the two wizards.
