we are planning to move from version 2.18 to 2.20 (without installing
2.19) and we have some concerns about the risks. We are only using
aggregated values (but we'll use trackedEntities in the future) and,
looking at the upgrade notes, it seems that there is nothing to be
worried about. Also, we have made the update in a test server and
everything seems to go fine.
Anyway, we would like to know if there is something else we have to
take into account, like any update done in 2.19 that will be skipped
if moving directly to 2.20. Also, is it required (or safer) to run
before the Upgrade SQL scripts?
And, be sure to remove everything in the tomcat/webapps/dhis directory (or your local equivalent happens to be). You do not want to upgrade the WAR file without also removing the director prior to starting Tomcat. Making a backup copy of your database, of course, is smart as well.

You should stop the server, run the scripts, upgrade the war file, and
then start the server.
