Upgrade Teamscale
Teamscale can basically be upgraded like any other Dogu via the cesapp or the Blueprint upgrade.
However, there is a peculiarity with major and minor upgrade of Teamscale.
The database cannot be migrated together with the dogu. In this case, an upgrade will result in a project export. Afterwards all data is deleted, the previously created backup is imported and the projects are scanned again. This is an unavoidable behavior, so wanted by Teamscale. Except for the old results of the scanner no data is lost. The project export is only possible with a valid Teamscale license, therefore without a valid license, the Teamscale dogu cannot be updated.
The project export is only necessary for minor or major version upgrades and will only be executed accordingly
performed.
If, for example, Teamscale version '7.7.0-1' is upgraded to Teamscale version '7.7.1-1' or to Teamscale version '7.7.0-2', the project export is only performed if the license is valid.
the project export does not take place.
However, when upgrading from version 7.7.0-1 to version 7.8.0-1 or to version 8.0.0-1, the above mentioned project export/import does not take place.

which removes the repositories from the file system. To execute this, the command
cesapp command teamscale remove-repositories must be executed. Afterwards, so that all projects are analyzed again
the command cesapp command teamscale reanalyze-projects must be executed.
Caution: Depending on the size of the instance, reanalyzing can take several hours. However, the reanalyze
is inevitable after every upgrade of the Dogus anyway.
