I finially got back to work..
I did some testing today on this migration::
I took ARS 5.12 / Oracle 9.2.0.6 export
imported on a 10.2.0.1 DB and used installer upgrade.
----
Got many errors.. I am sure some are fixable.. but below is the transcript...
Thought I would Share the possible problems someone will have doing an upgrade..

By the way.. The Reason I was doing the test is because .. Migrator is
does not support Migration of 5.12 to a 7.0 DB and so I was attempting
another way..
Looks like you have to do a 6.01 a 6.3 then a 7.0 upgrade on your data..

Comments accepted.
