Database changes for inventory service
Access inventory information
Direct database access usually is not a recommended practice. Instead, you should access this information either through the Optimizely Service API or the inventory APIs.
The database schema is considered an internal artifact of the system. Database schema changes may occur at any release without affecting the semantic versioning scheme. This means that a breaking change, such as changing tables or table names in the database schema, does not result in a major version update of Commerce Connect.
See Inventory requests for information about accessing warehouse inventory information.
Database schema changes
The modifications to the database schema involve migration of information from the old WarehouseInventory table to the new InventoryService table. If you have reporting running against the old WarehouseInventory table, this table will not receive any new or updated information, but the existing information remains.
Commerce Connect 11 and higher
Commerce Connect 10 and lower
Migration script
When you migrate data between the systems, the following script is executed.
