Fix script with before == true did not run on platform upgrade

[David Dietrich1]

Hi all,

I created a fix script in Global scope, added a log statement to it, and set "Before" to "true". The "Create a fix script" page in the documentation states that, "Before" is an option, "...to run the fix script before installing or upgrading the application."

I assumed the fix script would run on platform upgrade because the script was in Global scope, but it seems this didn't happen because I can't find the log message anywhere. The "Upgrade planning checklist" states that the admins should, "Apply any update sets and post-upgrade fix scripts that you have." But it doesn't say anything about how "Before" fix scripts are supposed to work with upgrades.

Does anyone know of some authoritative documentation which explicitly states which types of Fix Script (if any) run before, during or after platform upgrades?

Thank you!

I saw this in DOCs. It appears based on the message that should show when you create a fix script. It seems to indicate that upgrades only use out of the box fix scripts so I'm guessing it will not use user defined fix scripts.
