Hi,  
when i update my mf docker env and boot the backend, i can see in the logs that the database is updated.

When i boot the backend in my eclipse with the de.metas.ServerBoot\_mf15.launch, apperently this task is not executed.

How can i update my databse in my local dev env?

Kind regards

Hi @daveyx,  
we don’t have a really nice solution for this.

Also see issue [metasfresh/metasfresh#690](https://github.com/metasfresh/metasfresh/issues/690).  
This [comment](https://github.com/metasfresh/metasfresh/issues/690#issuecomment-269940848) from within the issue sketches what needs to be done IMHO.

Best regards  
Tobias

Hi @metas-ts,

thanks.

The remote\_sql.sh needs a local\_settings.properties

I’ve copied it from the docker-env and set the values for my local db

how to update dev env db should be documentented here:
