FHIR version R4 to R4B

Hi,

We are using the OSS version on FHIR version 4 (sql server). However we are wanting to upgrade to R4B. I understand that there is no way to upgrade to R5 (which is completely understandable with the resource changes etc.) however I was wondering if there is way of upgrading an existing R4 database to R4B. I've experimented a little and, although my initial attempts failed due to the new search parameters being created without statuses, if I run a full initialization again they are populated correctly and the server runs.

I am wondering if this will lead to further trouble down the track. Is this supported in any way? Has anyone achieved this?

Thanks for any advice

No files or tests are named. Start with the SQL Server R4 database and full-initialization path described in the issue, then establish whether an R4-to-R4B upgrade is supported and what validation would demonstrate a safe migration.
