Hi Matthias, DB migrations need only to be run when there is a change in DB schema in between the releases. That is not the case between 16.10 and 17.01 so there is no migration to be run. When there is a migration to run, the startup process of Galaxy will abort and you will be presented with a message that includes the command to run ($ sh manage_db.sh upgrade). The tool migrations are even rarer than DB migrations, and there was not a one in past ~2 years I think. It would work similarly to the process above. In standard cases, the only thing admin is recommended to do is to backup DB before running the upgrade script. Thank you for using Galaxy and let us know if you have more questions!

Der galaxy-dev list,
I just updated my 16.10 installation to 17.01 in order to see how upgrading works.
I followed https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Maintenance where point 8 is to run migration scripts.
Also the Admin Course ( https://martenson.github.io/dagobah-training/10-upgrading-release/upgrading.... ) refers to tool and DB migration steps that need(?) to be invoked.
I checked the output of run.sh and it seems to me that all migration scripts are run automatically: eg. there is output like:
migrate.versioning.script.base DEBUG 2017-02-15 13:56:53,451 Loading script lib/galaxy/model/migrate/versions/0001_initial_tables.py... migrate.versioning.script.base DEBUG 2017-02-15 13:56:53,451 Script lib/galaxy/model/migrate/versions/0001_initial_tables.py loaded successfully ...
So I was wondering what the admin should do here? Just check for errors or problems?
Cheers, Matthias
