Update Log Window

This window is automatically displayed if database updates are available. This may be the case if a new program version has been installed and the software is started the first time afterwards. Each time a database connection is established a check takes place if the current database version is compatible with the application version. If not then the database update is started automatically and the update log window is displayed (see figure).

The window shows a separate tab for each updated database (MySQL here). The table shows the progress of the processed update actions and if they have been successful. If an update step was successful then the column after Step displays a check symbol or an error symbol otherwise.

If the database has changed all update steps are required to succeed since the application expects a certain database version and it may show errors otherwise.

Unsuccessful update steps are often caused by missing permissions for the current database user. You should check the current database permissions first if you encounter any update errors and then try again by connecting to the database.
