Upgrade-script for Windows from OH2.5 to OH3.2 fails

[T-A (Thomas Anhoeck)]

Hi Niklas

I had the same issue moving from 2.5.6 to 3.1.0.
Main issue is, that “Things” in Json cannot be migrated. This was only supported in the migration from 2.5.x to 3.0.0. I could not find the respective update.ps1 and version from OH in GitHub.

So I saved my 2.5.6 installation installed 3.1.0 from scratch and deleted thing from json DB before I moved json an conf data from my 2.5.6 to the 3.1.0 installation. I guess this will work also for 3.2.0.

All was there except Things. I copied them from json 2.5.6 to a text file and defined them new in 3.1.0.
each thing I had defined and linked with the items (items are still working) I deleted in the text file, so I was sure not missing out anythng.

Status: I had all Thing defined via the Paper UI - they seam to be lost. Item same thing. Only the ones I had defined in the .items file are there from conf Rules are there from .rules file from con…

Important: That Things can be used in 3.2.0 you need to edit the following:
