Description

We are currently trying to update from GNOS 3.6 to 3.8. Unfortunately the DB then "disappears", i.e. data do not show up in 3.8.

Looking at the documentation:

"Updating the application"
- https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/trunk/en/maintainer-guide/updating/index.html
- https://github.com/geonetwork/doc/blob/develop/source/maintainer-guide/updating/index.rst

... does not have _any_ content.

Please document how to do upgrading (or add pointers to existing documentation elsewhere). Thanks!

Research direction

Read source/maintainer-guide/updating/index.rst and the linked “Updating the application” manual page first. Research the GNOS 3.6-to-3.8 upgrade process and document it there, or add pointers to existing guidance, including the database/data visibility problem. Done means the section contains usable upgrade instructions or clear links to them.
