<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>How do other people manage upgrading of the schemas and templates
in a production system? Of course changing a schema to add an extra element which
is mandatory will break all existing pages as they will no longer, in there
control code, adhere to the new schema. So a manual task has to be performed to
go through those pages which reference the changed schema and add this new
element. Or you could create a new module, with just this new schema and
template in, <span class=GramE>then</span> perform a copy paste routine to copy
all existing content using the old schema and template to a new pages which
reference them.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

module installs <span class=SpellE>opencms</span> becomes corrupt. Restarting the
server (tomcat in our case) doesn’t help. What we have to do it wipe the
database and then import the modules again when this happens. Has anyone else
had this problem?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
