About PostgreSQL Version Upgrade
The FortiConverter version 7.0.5 upgrades from PostgreSQL version 12.17 to 16.2.
Please carefully examine the following before upgrading to FortiConverter 7.0.5 and above or rollback to an older version:
| FortiConverter Installation Direction | PostgreSQL Database Data Migration |
|---|---|
| Upgrading FortiConverter from version 6.0.2 or above to the current version | The old conversion data will be automatically migrated to the new version's PostgreSQL database. |
| Upgrading FortiConverter from version 6.0.1 or below to the current version | The old conversion data will not be migrated to the new version's PostgreSQL database. There are too many differences between 6.0.1 and 7.0.5 so it would be better to redo the conversions with the current version. However, if the old data should be preserved, please first upgrade to a version between 6.0.2 and 7.0.4, and then upgrade to the current version. |
| Downgrade FortiConverter from the current version to version 7.0.4 or below | The new conversion data completed in the current version will not be migrated back to the older version's PostgreSQL database |
| Downgrade FortiConverter from the current version to version 7.0.5 or above | Please first run the uninstaller on the existing build and then install the older build. The conversions data of the existing build should still be preserved and accessible in PostgreSQL database after the installation. |
- If you encountered a bug during the data migration, or for some other reason you do not want to migrate the data, please check the "Clear all history conversion" option during installing. This will skip the migration process and install a clean database instead.
