Re: [Dhis2-devs] Upgrading from DHIS2.old version like 2.18 to 2.24

 

Hi Adolphe,

I highly recommend doing it in steps from version to version. If you follow the URL pattern you can find the older upgrade notes.
https://www.dhis2.org/218-upgrade
https://www.dhis2.org/219-upgrade

The same should work for the war files.
https://www.dhis2.org/download/releases/2.18/dhis.war
https://www.dhis2.org/download/releases/2.19/dhis.war

Good luck.

My JRXML report runs well in DHIS2.19 but stops running in DHIS2.20 or later. Am I the only one who faced this problem? Wasn't there an upgrade plan for JRXML reports.
