Sessions and tokens

v2.0.0 replaces the single long-lived JWT with an access token / refresh token pair. This page explains the model, the settings that govern it, and the two configuration mistakes that break a deployment.

Why it matters

Under the old model a token was minted at login and stayed valid for its whole lifetime. Deactivating a user or changing their role did nothing until that token expired — potentially days later.

Database Migrations (runner)

Platform Admin → Database Migrations is the in-app runner for CYPEX’s own framework schema migrations — the changes CYPEX applies to its internal cypex schema when the platform is upgraded.

This screen is System Administrator only (system admin visibility).

Info
This is not where you migrate your data model. Changes to your own tables are made in Database.

Relationship to the upgrade guides

The in-app runner applies migrations. It does not tell you whether it is safe to apply them, what they change, or how to verify the result — that is what the upgrade documentation is for. For v2.0.0 specifically, run the upgrade from Upgrade to v2.0.0 and treat this screen as one step inside that procedure, not a substitute for it.

Storage Repositories

Under Platform Admin → Storage & Repositories, you define the Git repositories CYPEX uses to fetch extensions. Basically, you give CYPEX access to a Git repository which contains all of the extensions in a format accessible to CYPEX:

Repository Configuration

Configured repositories list their Title, User Name, Path, Branch, and a masked Personal Access Token. Actions let you test the connection, edit, or delete a repository.

The configuration is straightforward — add the Git data and test the connection. CYPEX is then fully connected and you can easily add extensions to the system as needed. Click + Add to open the form:

Internal Schema Browser

Platform Admin → Internal Schema Browser shows the internal cypex schema — the platform’s own metadata tables, not your application data.

This screen is System Administrator only (system admin visibility) and is intended for advanced debugging.

What it shows, and what it does not

PurposeInspecting platform state while debuggingBuilding the data model your applications render
Warning
The cypex schema is CYPEX’s own storage. Its layout is an implementation detail and changes between releases. Read it to diagnose a problem; do not build applications or integrations against it. Use Database for your own model and the REST API for programmatic access to your data.

Install extensions

To install SQL fragments you can use the Extensions entry. Click the action button to easily deploy extensions.

There are countless extensions inside the default repository which can be used:

Extensions

By default, the CYBERTEC repository for CYPEX is enabled. However, you can easily add more repositories as needed. For more information, see the section on Storage Repositories.
