We are currently running OpenSync version 2 and QuickBooks Enterprise 16 (2016) and are needing to upgrade to 18 (2018).
It is my understanding that we will need to upgrade to OpenSync version 3 in order to support QuickBooks 18.
We would like to confirm the following high level steps in upgrading.
1. Uninstall OpenSync version 2
2. Install OpenSync version 3
3. Rebuild / verify QB company file used with OpenSync
4. Delete MYSQL database copy related to QB company file
5. Create and Populate MYSQL database using OpenSync 3
6. Test normal sync/update operations with QB 16 and OpenSync 3
7. Upgrade QuickBooks server, clients and database to QuickBooks 18, with latest update.
8. Run OpenSync sync/updates as normal
Our major concern is will we need to re-populate after already moving to OpenSync version 3, when upgrading QuickBooks to version 18. I can’t seem to find firm info regarding this in the forums so far. My understanding is the mysql database schema is set by OpenSync so we shouldn’t need to populate twice.
