The system property de.smartics.projectdoc.upgrade.skip-auto allows to control the execution of the upgrade task. If this property is set to "true" then upgrade is not automatic. Members of the administration group would need to run the upgrade manually.

Per default this property is not set (same as a value of "false").

The upgrade task "AO Table Migration 4->5" migrates the AO tables from its old structure version 4 to the new structure version 5. The name of the tables reflect this by adding a number after the initial "PD" (and the initial identifier of the plugin). 

The description of the task is "Migrates the AO tables of version 4 of the projectdoc Toolbox to version 5."

The old tables (identified by "PD_" in the table name) will stay untouched and the new structures will be stored in new tables (identified by "PD5_"). Even if the old data will still be available we highly recommend to have access to a current backup of your database.

When the automatic upgrade task starts it will check that the correct versions of additional projectdoc add-ons are installed. Only installed add-ons with older versions will be reported. The upgrade task will start once all add-ons are updated. You may disable the add-on if it is no longer used on your projectdoc pages.
