Caution: When you upgrade the main PowerSchool SMS database, the process also upgrades the tables in the Historical Database, if one exists; some tables may be deleted. Thus, before you update the main database, preserve the Historical Database by backing it up.
Note: When upgrading the database to PowerSchool SMS 8.0 from an older version, the installer displays a Database Update Option dialog that asks the administrator to select a contact matching and merging method. The options are:
= | Exact match on first and last name and exact match on either phone or address. |
= | Near match on first name, exact match on last name and exact match on either phone or address. |
= | Near match on first and last name and exact match on either phone or address. |
For more information, refer to the Converting to PowerSchool SMS 8.0technical bulletin.
