Important note
With the Elias 18 Version 2511, a MongoDB Update has been introduced:
-
When updating from a previous ELIAS 18 version, the MongoDB database must be updated using the official MongoDB migration guides.
- Supported MongoDB versions for ELIAS 18 2511 are versions 6, 7, or 8.

The required migration steps depend on the MongoDB version selected.
