Topic: Could a older HAPI server work with newer FHIR model?
Yunwei Wang (Mar 23 2020 at 14:08):
We have an HAPI FHIR server 3.5 with FHIR version 3.5. Now we want to change FHIR version to latest 4.0.1. We considered install new HAPI 4.1.0 server but we have many customization on the existing server and we don't want to start from scratch. So my tow questions:
1) Is it possible to run upgrade on existing HAPI server without losing all extensions, add-ons?
2) Is it possible to just upgrade FHIR model to 4.0.1 while using the existing HAPI FHIR server?
Thanks

The big question is not the upgrade of the framework. That should work in conjunction with the db migration tool. The biggest question is if your resources switches version - eg. from DSTU3 to R4 - there is no built-in tool support for that

^ what Jens said. :)
HAPI doesn't support mixing parts of the library with different versions unfortunately. But it is definitely possible to upgrade an in-place database.
