If you have more than one repository, such as production and live, then please ensure all repositories are upgraded properly so you do not have issues transferring models between them. If when upgrading you prefer to work in a test environment, please copy your existing database first and use this as the basis for upgrading. |
Step 1 Prevent users from accessing the repository
Step 1 - Prevent users from accessing the repository
