I've installed a alfrescro 2.1 community and used a 1.4 repository… now when alfresco starts in the tomcat log this message appears:
[service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco started (Community Network): Current version 2.1.0 (R1 443) schema 62 - Installed version 1.4.0 (build-105) schema 21
Is this a problem? Is this sub-optimal? How can I upgrade the repository?
This is fine - it is just information on exactly what schema you original installed Alfresco with (1.4.0 schema 21) and what schema you are now upgraded to running on (2.1.0 schema 62). Alfresco automatically upgrades the DB schema when you deploy a new WAR. If the upgrade failed the server would not start.
