This upgrade involves changing the way overridden breaks are stored within the database

The way break overrides are stored at v9.4 is different to previous versions. During the v9.4 upgrade, existing break overrides within the system memory horizon will be converted and stored in the new format.

Any break overrides existing BEFORE the system memory horizon will NOT be converted.

This may impact historical reporting for dates PRIOR to the system memory horizon and also the SERVICEManager Employee Availability pages when looking at availability PRIOR to the system memory horizon. In both cases, any expected break overrides will not be found. 

Upgrades from versions between 8.1.x and 9.0.x

If you are upgrading from any version of ServiceScheduling starting with 8.1.0.0 or later, up to the most recent version of 9.0.x then the following points also apply:

Fixed Breaks in the wrong time zone

After upgrading from any version of ServiceScheduling between 8.1.x and 9.0.x inclusive, Fixed Breaks will be in the wrong time zone.

Immediately after upgrading to ServiceScheduling 9.4 or later, in the event that the previous version was any version between 8.1.x and 9.0.x inclusive, any Fixed Breaks will be in the wrong time zone, resulting in them appearing at the wrong time on the Gantt and/or being incorrectly dispatched.

Please speak with ServicePower’s customer care team prior to upgrading, to ensure that an appropriate script can be prepared for your upgrade to correct any Fixed Break time zones.
