Paami - Odoo Module Version Upgrade Tool

Simplify Odoo module version upgrades with automated analysis and structured execution. Paami provides a reliable way to upgrade your Odoo modules by handling the intricate details of API changes, OWL migration, and Odoo-specific transformations.

Technical Capabilities

Paami performs a deep scan of your Odoo module to understand its architecture, identifies the necessary transformation steps, and executes them in a logical sequence. Whether you are upgrading from Odoo 13 to 19 or any version in between, Paami ensures a consistent and stable result.

Core Features

• Targeted Code Conversion: Transform Odoo modules to a target version with precision.
• Module Analysis: Automatically detect module structures, dependencies, and potential migration complexities.
• Structured Execution: Operations are performed in a dependency-aware order to maintain code integrity.
• Checkpoint and Resume: Long-running operations can be paused and resumed without loss of progress.
• Safe Environment Management: Built-in support for creating backups before implementing major changes.

Supported Versions

• Odoo 13 → 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 - Full version upgrade support
• Handles Python API changes, XML view syntax updates, JavaScript/OWL migration
• Supports security model changes across versions

Installation and Setup

1. Install the extension within your development environment.
2. Configure your unique access credential in the extension settings.
3. Access the primary features via the command palette.

Technical Workflow

1. Analysis Phase

   • Evaluate the existing Odoo module version.
   • Map out the module's internal dependency graph.
   • Provide a technical summary of the necessary changes.

2. Planning Phase

   • Generate a comprehensive step-by-step upgrade strategy.
   • Define specific tasks for file-level transformations.
   • Establish the optimal sequence for execution.

3. Execution and Monitoring

   • Implement changes according to the upgrade plan.
   • Maintain consistency across related modules and files.
   • Monitor progress in real-time through the status bar and log view.

4. Resume and Recovery

   • State is preserved throughout the process.
   • Resume from the last completed task if an operation is interrupted.

Architecture and Reliability

Paami uses a multi-stage pipeline designed for reliability and consistency:

• Module Indexing: Maintains a complete understanding of your Odoo module structure.
• Deterministic Transformation: Applies specific technical rules for Odoo API changes and deprecations.
• AI-Powered Migration: Uses AI to handle complex transformations that require context understanding.
• Automated Validation: Verifies changes to ensure they meet Odoo version requirements.

Usage Guidelines

• Review the generated plan before authorizing execution.
• Maintain backups of your Odoo module.
• Analyze the completed changes to ensure they align with your specific requirements.
• Test the upgraded module in a development environment before production deployment.
