About PostgreSQL Version Upgrade

About PostgreSQL Version Upgrade

The FortiConverter version 7.0.1 upgrades from PostgreSQL version 12.9.1 to 12.12.1.

Please carefully examine the following before upgrading to FortiConverter 6.0.2 and above or rollback to an older version:
FortiConverter Installation Direction PostgreSQL Database Data Migration
FortiConverter Current version to version 6.0.2 and Above The old conversion data from the current version will automatically migrate to the new version's PostgreSQL database.
FortiConverter version 6.0.2 and Above to Older version The new conversion data completed in version 6.0.2 or above will not migrate back to the older version's PostgreSQL database

FortiConverter Current version (before 6.0.2) to Older version

If you want to roll back to a older build from the current build (before 6.0.2), please first run the uninstaller on the existing build and then install the older build. The conversions data of the existing build should still be preserved and accessible in PostgreSQL database after the installation.

  • If you encountered a bug during the data migration, or for some other reason you do not want to migrate the data, please check the "Clear all history conversion" option during installing. This will skip the migration process and install a clean database instead.

If any additional assistance is required, Please contact fconvert_feedback@fortinet.com and send us the log file located in C:\ProgramData\Fortinet\ForiConverter\temp\install.log
