We have a project wide standard for doing migrations on the project, I have therefor made a migration based on an automatic initialization of keycloak (using generateChangelog). This is being applied to the database during start up of a new keycloak deploy. However during initialization keycloak will then try to apply the migrations from keycloak-model-jpa, however since this migrations are already applied in the migration file I made and initialized the database from, it fails.

How can i disable JpaUpdaterProvider to prevent it from trying to apply these migrations?
