How to Move Direct DocType Customizations to Frappe Cloud?

Frappe Cloud

Hi All,

We have been running our ERPNext instance on AWS EC2 for the past year. During this time, we made a lot of customizations directly by editing core DocTypes (in Developer Mode), without using the “Customize Form” feature or a custom app.

Now, we are planning to migrate our ERPNext site to Frappe Cloud. All our customizations are currently part of the core erpnext app files.

Is it possible to migrate such a setup to Frappe Cloud? Are there any best practices to follow to ensure a smooth migration without data loss, especially for custom fields and logic added directly to DocTypes?

Hi,

Short Answer is No.

Long Answer: Please create a Custom App in your existing instance and Move all your customization to your custom app.

After that you install your custom app on frappe cloud and do the migration.

Thanks @mangroliya, is it only possible through a custom app that I manually identify the changes made in the core application so far, and then move them to the custom app?

Are there any steps to identify the changes? Because we have made many modifications.

Hi,

If you modified the code directly in core files and changed the standard logic and you don’t have a track of that changes will be complex situation.

If you will be able to migrate like this also, it will restrict your ability to install any latest updates.

A better option is identifying all changes and moving it to a custom app.

Thanks,
