Tip1: 

LifeCycle is a reserved field name in Altium's Managed Components Database. 

If you are migrating a database library to Altium's Managed Components you can rename the LifeCycle field to Parts_Status.  Part_Status is the Default filed name in the latest version.

The Parts Frontend is compatible with LifeCycle or Parts_Status. 

As of Mar 26, 2022 the default was field name in the Parts Database changed to Part_Status to simplify migration to Altium's Managed Components.


Tip 2:

Before migrating to A365 edit the Altium DBLib. Uncheck Queries created in Access or Views created in MySQL to prevent duplicate component errors during migration.







Queries and Views are records in the Parts table that were filtered by Part_Type.

That's it !
