After the release from TYPO3 4.2.8 i decided to post a small, usefull description to update/upgrade the core files from TYPO3.

    - uploads
  • check for Extensionupdates (Backend -> Extensions)
  • Upload the source files to your webserver
  • Compare & Update your Database online
    - start the InstallTool
    - select Database Analyser
    - click  COMPARE  at “update required tables”
  • Install/Update static tables and description tables
    - use the InstallTool
    - select DataBase Analyser
    - click IMPORT at “Dump static data”
    - “import” the whole file
    - click “write to database”
  • Clear cache tables
