Once you have stopped development, it is a good practice to assess the developments made and compare
them with the features introduced between your current version and the version you are targeting.
Challenge the developments as much as possible and find functional workarounds. Removing redundancy
between your developments and the standard version of Odoo will lead to an eased
upgrade process and reduce technical debt.

During the upgrade of the custom modules, you might have to use migration scripts to reflect changes
from the source code to their corresponding data.
During the upgrade of the custom modules, you might have to use
:doc:`upgrade scripts <../reference/upgrade_scripts>` to reflect changes from the source code
to their corresponding data. Together with the upgrade scripts, you can also make use of the
:doc:`../reference/upgrade_utils` and its helper functions.

external identifiers) should be renamed using upgrade scripts to avoid data loss during the
module upgrade. See also: :meth:`rename_field`, :meth:`rename_model`, :meth:`rename_xmlid`.
- Data from standard models removed from the source code of the newer Odoo version and from the
database during the standard upgrade process might need to be recovered from the old model table
if it is still present.
Migration scripts can also be used to:
.. example::
Custom fields for model ``sale.subscription`` are not automatically migrated from Odoo 15 to
Odoo 16 (when the model was merged into ``sale.order``). In this case, a SQL query can be
executed on an upgrade script to move the data from one table to the other. Take into account
that all columns/fields must already exist, so consider doing this in a ``post-`` script (See
:ref:`upgrade-scripts/phases`).
.. spoiler::
.. code-block:: python
def migrate(cr, version):
cr.execute(
"""
UPDATE sale_order so
SET custom_field = ss.custom_field
FROM sale_subscription ss
WHERE ss.new_sale_order_id = so.id
"""
)
Check the documentation for more information on :doc:`../reference/upgrade_scripts`.
Upgrade scripts can also be used to:
- Ease the processing time of an upgrade. For example, to store the value of computed stored fields
on models with an excessive number of records by using SQL queries.
- Recompute fields in case the computation of their value has changed.
- Uninstall unwanted custom modules.
- Recompute fields in case the computation of their value has changed. See also
:meth:`recompute_fields`.
- Uninstall unwanted custom modules. See also :meth:`remove_module`.
- Correct faulty data or wrong configurations.
Running and testing upgrade scripts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Odoo Online
As the instalation of custom modules containing Python files is not allowed on Odoo Online
databases, it is not possible to run upgrade scripts on this platform.
.. group-tab:: Odoo.sh
As explained on the `Odoo.sh` tab of :ref:`upgrade/request-test-database`, Odoo.sh is
integrated with the upgrade platform.
Once the upgrade of a staging branch is on "Update on commit" mode, each time a commit is
pushed on the branch, the upgraded backup is restored and all the custom modules are updated.
This update includes the execution of the upgrade scripts.
When upgrading the production database, the execution of the upgrade scripts is also part of
the update of the custom modules done by the platform when the upgraded database is restored.
.. group-tab:: On-premise
Once you receive the upgraded dump of the database from the `Upgrade platform
<https://upgrade.odoo.com>`_, deploy the database and update all the custom modules by
invoking the command :doc:`odoo-bin </developer/reference/cli>` in the shell.
To update the custom modules, use the option: `-u <modules>,
--update <modules>`.
.. important::
As mentioned in the :doc:`CLI documentation </developer/reference/cli>`, the command used
to call the CLI depends on how you installed Odoo.
