hook_post_update_NAME(&$sandbox)
Executes an update which is intended to update data, like entities.
These implementations have to be placed in a MODULE.post_update.php file.
These updates are executed after all hook_update_N() implementations. At this stage Drupal is already fully repaired so you can use any API as you wish.
NAME can be arbitrary machine names. In contrast to hook_update_N() the order of functions in the file is the only thing which ensures the execution order of those functions.
Drupal also ensures to not execute the same hook_post_update_NAME() function twice.
Parameters
array $sandbox: Stores information for batch updates. See above for more information.
Return value
string|null Optionally, hook_post_update_NAME() hooks may return a translated string that will be displayed to the user after the update has completed. If no message is returned, no message will be presented to the user.
Throws
\Drupal\Core\Utility\UpdateException|PDOException In case of error, update hooks should throw an instance of \Drupal\Core\Utility\UpdateException with a meaningful message for the user. If a database query fails for whatever reason, it will throw a PDOException.
